- 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.

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

I had the same issue, which really frustrated me. I tried everything written in this forum, and unfortunately nothing worked. However, I did find a solution (by mistake) which I hope everyone else facing the same situation finds useful. It was to simply uncheck then check the Toggle Mask and Shape Path Visibility button.

Hope it helps!
