Bounding Box automatically Resetting after rotating an Object or Group

I rotated a group of objects, but the bounding box didn’t rotate with it or automatically reset itself. I have already reset the settings to default in Illustrator, but it didn’t work. I also tried regrouping, but that didn’t work either. I'm really frustrated with this— is there a solution? (1. Image Before) (2. Image After) (3. Image I want to be Like This)

    Also this is happening in 2024 (28.7.1), and in 2025 (29.3). Maybe this is expected behavior, but I don't know. Happens with live shapes but also with pencil-drawn paths.

    The only way I could solve this is to turn the group of shapes to a Symbol.

    Are the objects really grouped? WHat kind of objects are they?

    Does this happen after sving? If so: what do you save? Which version of AI is the file?

    Yes, I have grouped them, and this also applies to multi-selection. The objects include Rectangular, Custom Object, and Compound Object.

    "Does this happen after saving?"

    No, I noticed the bounding box was like that before saving. I assumed it was due to the save file, so I didn't save the project and restarted the program. But it's still the same.

    I’m using Adobe Illustrator version 29.3.
