Question

bounding box disappeared

Hello!! My bounding box has suddenly disappeared. This has happened for all my layers. The handles are always visible, and the box is visible once I drag it outside the preview window. But, even when it's outside the preview window, the box doesn't do its job. It's kind of as if it's just there for show, and only the handles work. My layer controls are activated on both the comp and the view tab. I've tried restarting it, and it did nothing. Below are some screenshots! Any help is appreciated. I'm working in quite an old version (AE 2020), so if it's simply a glitch because it's out of date, then that's fine.

Ensure you have not turned off View Layer Controls from the Layer Menu or hit the shortcut key Shift + Ctrl/Cmnd + h. If that does not fix the display problem when a layer is selected, try starting AE in safe mode or resetting your preferences.
