What happens if you use the Cmd(Ctrl)-H and then Show/Hide Bounding Box?

It's command + shift + b on a Mac. Don't kow about PC. You just have to roll over your mouse back and then you see it.

This is the Illustrator forum - Photoshop is not quite our focus of attention.

- I've got problem with (by "image trace") traced and expanded shapes. Tried forums for solutions, including this one.

I used "white arrow" and moved some nodes,

when returned to "black arrow" bounding box appeared wherever it's needed.

- I don't have GPU/CPU choice in Illustrator CC.

- Of course you can hide bounding box, as well as edges, by shortcuts or from menu.
