InDesign cc18 Bounding Box Behavior

Question

Hi there!First: I'am aware that other users had the same unsolved problem with older versions of InDesign. Anything new? Is it possible that the bounding box of an object (a simple rectangle for example) becomes congruent with its path when the path position is set to the middle.In other words: The path and the bounding box should be on the same position. It's about alignment with guide lines or other objects. Because they use to snap to the bounding box not to the path.There is the command "Use Preview Bounds" in the align section in Illustraor CC which controls the bounding box behavior to a certain extent. Is there anything similar in InDesign now which I didn't found yet?Thanks in advance!

You have illustrated the way InDesign has defined the bounding box, and path position for as long as InDesign has been around.

Since the addition of Align Stroke on the Stroke panel many long versions ago, I know of no changes in more recent versions of InDesign.

What you haven't told us is the problem you're trying to solve. Please give us a detailed description of your problem, preferably with screen captures to let us help you. I monitor this probably quite regularly and I'm not familiar with "other users having unsolved problems."
