Hi Monika, I'm having the same issue and my bounding box is set to shown.

A basic shape -- like a circle or rectangle -- still shows its bounding box, but as soon as I select anything else, it's gone. Below is a shape I drew with the pen tool. It's selected and no transformation handles are shown.

Edit: This has only been an issue beginning with the latest update. I didn't notice it yesterday on a PC, but am experiencing it now on a Mac.

You have the select tool active? Not direct select or group select?
