Direct Selection tool not working - having several issues since I updated to 2015.3.01. Also stroke options not working.

HI.  I have had several issues with Illustrator recently.  It's getting more frustrating by the day!  I cannot use the direct selection tool.  I have gone into preferences/selection&anchor display and chosen object selection by path only (which was advised on the forum) and it did nothing.

I have shut down Illustrator, and my computer, and it still does this.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Julie

Julie,

Just to make sure: we are not talkning View>Show Bounding Box (toggled with Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+B), are we?

Awesome Jacob!!  Thanks so much.  That was the problem.  I've never had this issue before and I was at a loss.  I REALLY appreciate your swift response!

Cheers,

Julie

You are welcome, Julie.

Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+B is one of the easy mishits; Ctrl/Cmd+H (View>Show/Hide Edges) is even easier, with other shortcuts closing in on all sides.
