Bounding Box Does Not Show Outside Active Area

[marypearson]

I have seen this issue on several forums for Photoshop CC but nothing for Elements 2021.  I am used to using the old Photoshop CS5.5 where I could see the bounding box as the image overlapped the main window.  With Elements, the bounding box with handles shows only inside the active window.   If the pasted image is too large, then I have to maneuver it back and forth within the window to size it appropriately.  Very inconvenient!

I have updated to v19.0.

I have reset all Tools and restarted. 

I have "Show Bounding Box" ticked.

What am I missing please?

Thank you.

If you click on one of the visible side handles in the part of the bounding box you can see, which puts one in transform mode, do you see the formally hidden bounding box?

No, I cannot see it, which is the reason I am writing.
