Attached is an example. I'm trying to figure out why some text have a boundry box visible and others do not within the same file.

I tested .ttf vs open type face vs etc, etc... No difference.

So here are two text boxes using the same font but showing how one has a text boundry box and the other does not.

I haven't been able to see replicate this. Duplicating a layer from one file to another, copy pasting from Illustrator etc.. I would prefer to see the boundry box.

Ideas?

If we click with the Type Tool, we get Point Text (no bounding).

If we click and drag with the Type Tool, we get Paragraph Text (bounding). Paragraph Text is sometimes called Area Text or Box Text.

If Point Text needs to be Paragraph Text, select all of the text in a Point Text Object and then copy and paste it to a Paragraph Text Object. Reverse this for going from Paragraph Text to Point Text.
