Hi,
In the latest version of Illustrator there is a strange issue that I can't appear to switch off - when I go to make make a rectangle shape (a) the cursor doesn't change to the familier crosshair and (b) once I drag out a shpae it places in rotator and resize arrows instead of the normal anchor boxes  - really anoying and destracting (example image attached).

Anyone know how to remove/disable them? I need my anchor boxes back! 😞

Gerry.

Please go to Preferences > General and turn off "Enable Rich UI"

 

Could you please take and upload a screenshot of that Preferences > General dialog box while you are in it? Thank you very much.

Which version are you using? I cannot find that Preference setting in shipping, beta or prerelease versions.

I also don't see that option in the latest version of Illustrator.

Hello @Gerry C,

Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind trying the following steps to check if they help:
View >> Show Edges

Or View >> Show Bounding Box


Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav
