Question

Bounding Box no Longer Highlights During Transform Photoshop 2020

Hi, I use Photoshop frequently and just updated to 2020 today. I immediately noticed that whenever a layer is selected with the bounding box showing, there is no visible difference between just having the layer selected and editing the layer in transform mode. In the previous version of PS, the bounding box would highlight and the line would become thicker to confirm it was being edited. 

 

I tried resetting preferences, but there was no change. I can't seem to find if this is a new aesthetic update in 2020 anywhere. Anyone have any ideas on a way to fix this? Thanks.

Turning off the GPU helps, but it is not an option. (

I have them checked, the bounding box is visible. It is not highlighting when in transform/editing scale mode.

I believe in CC 2019 The bounding box  was changest to be a path bounding  box older version used marching ants not paths lines. I'm on windows and see the pathe with transform scale.
