Bounding box disappears while moving objects in Illustrator

[Rob Sollom]

Hi,

I have a problem where the bounding box (blue highlight) disappears, ONLY when moving an object – it's there when I select the object but when I drag it it disappears. This has just started happening and I'm sure I've accidentally hit the wrong keyboard shortcut somewhere along the line but I can't work out how to fix the issue.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Cheers,

Rob

Did you try it? The Bounding Box (that rectangle with little squareson all corners and sides that encompasses the object) disappears around the object when you move the object and appears when you stop moving. Yes it stays visible at the starting point, is that useful?

Working with it now and yes after de-selecting the "real time..." BS feature, the bounding box is visible when actually moving an object which is what is really useful when creating precise artwork for print production

I think you are mistaking the bounding box with the object's outline. 
By turning Real-time drawing and editing, you get to see the outline of the object only.
Bounding box is still missing. Here is what I mean:

By turning Real-Time drawing and editing on I no longer see etither the Bounding box or the outline when moving an object. Totally useless feature when working with precise artwork for print production especially for very expensive projects.

Not everyone does precise artwork all the time (or at all). People have been asking for the feature for a long time.

@Ton Frederiks Thank you for that answer! It's been driving me crazy not to be able to line-up objects, especially on corners.

BTW, the bounding box has NOT always been hidden when moved. The center handles are often used for line-ups in more technical work.
