Opacity outside of bounding box

For some reason in CC 2017 I can no longer see what is outside the bounding box when scaling

CC 2015 Screenshot as example

Is this just a box I need to tick or is a preferences reset required?

    I was really hoping I wouldn't have to reset my preferences. It just seems to be the go to for any glitch.


    I reported this a day or two ago: You have the GPU turned on (you have a Retina Display on your Mac). Choose View > CPU Preview to turn off the GPU.

    It's a bug in the GPU feature. An engineer reported that it's a known issue.

    It is a little bug that had to do with using GPU acceleration or not, try to toggle this preference and see if that makes a difference. Of course as always it is a 'patient user mode' so you have to wait a second before dragging to see this effect ;-)

    With Immediate you should always see the content, with Delayed you have to hold on the drag

    It's set to immediate, although I think you're misunderstanding.

    When scaling past the bounding box, normally I can see what sits outside the box because it's got a decreased opacity. Now I can't see where the edge of the box lies.

    The blue square is the bounding box for this image

    This is it being scaled

    And this is when the mouse is released.

    I can't see how much to scale the image because it's not showing me where the frame edge is.

    Ehm…, while moving/scaling the overflow is visible in less opacity.

    Doubleclicking into the frame reveals the edged of the containing picture:

    I was holding shift, although I can't see how that would effect the outcome.

    I know it works in CC, I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying it's not happening at the moment for me and I want to know whether the fix is as easy as ticking a box or if I need to reset my preferences.
