  When it is over an unselected path or shape (as in, something that you can select if you click right here), it shows a black box. When you're not selected anchor, it shows a white box.

• Direct Selection tool not showing ankles illustrator CS3, Mac 10.5.8, MBP 2 .6GHz

  Using the direct Selection (white arrow) moving on an anchor, they appear, but even if the anchor is selected the blue anchor box disappears as soon as the mouse moves away, so its impossible to select a handle.  I can still pass an anchor, but it is difficult to select two anchors attached paths, etc., somehow as lead a blind man.  If I click on a path, and then hold down the command key, hollow anchor box appear and the cursor turns into the selection tool.  Trough areas appear on the selection using the selection tool (black arrow).  I'm pretty direct selection tool was working properly last week (am a casual user).

  I know the difference between tool, direct Selection tool, and group selection tool.   I think that happened a year ago and deleting a file preferably helped.  I, quit illustrator, remove "com.adobe.illustrator.plist" in my user library and tried.  that did not help.

• Selection tool acting buggy

  Hello

  For some time now with Adobe CC 2015 I got this buggy with Illustrator experience where I'll be working and suddenly I select a shape with the regular Selection tool and it doesn't have the framework covering normal and can't do scaling manually. The bounding box looks like it does in the attached screenshot. Anyone know what is happening and how I can fix this problem? Thank you!

• Cannot change the shape with the Selection tool

  Hello!

  I have installed a mac OX S El Capitan and the latest version of Adobe Illustrator. When I create a form, rektangel or something like that, or add an image I can't change size with the neither selection tool or shape. The shape only has points in the corner and I can not use them at all. I reinstalled, but the problem remains.

  How can I solve this problem? A ppreciateall the answers that can help!
  

  Go to view-> see the area delimitation

  This will bring the bounding box while you are in the selection tool.

  If this did not help. could you please share a screenshot?

• Selection tool doesn't highlight an object while hovering inside.

  When you move an object inside, the selection tool is more abstract. I have to spend on the path to highlight/select point. In view, "show the edges" and "see the bounding box" are on.  Any thoughts? Thank you! (I imagine it's something simple. But alas, it escapes me.)

  I remember a few years back, an update to Illustrator all caused the tracks to highlight on mouseover, and it was absolutely infuritating. Almost enough to give you a seizure when working on a complex document. Finally, they took this "feature".

• Does anyone know why my text is not resize by using the selection tool?

  Hi all

  I am following the tutorial How to make a Logo in Illustrator - KD #6 - YouTube which requires me to select text and stretch to fit, but my stretch mechinism seems to be broken!

  Everything that I think should be done with the selection tool is extended to the box, I'm going to change the size of text manually with the ladder at the top, which is not great.

  Can anyone suggest anything?

  Thank you

  Sally,

  It seems as if you may have created the Type with the area Type tool or (or effectively by clicking on a rectangle or other traced with the text tool).

  In my view, it should be normal (also called Point) Type.
