'Border not shown while moving object (v 25.x)' has been merged into this idea

Add an option to show edges when art is dragged with real-time drawing option on

Real-time drawing is a great feature and I wish it appeared earlier, so by this time I'd be polished enough. Now we have a mode when only edges are drawn while dragging and the other one, which draws only art — but not both. It makes positioning somewhat harder. Please add an option to allow both methods to work combined.

    あるいは配置画像の移動の際、画像の縁（フチ）がわかるエフェクトを追加して欲しい。
    →マスクした画像だけを移動した際、視覚的に画像の縁が見えずマスクの内に入ってしまう。
    ミスやクレームのもとになりかねなず不便である。

    毎回設定を変更しなければならないだけでも多大なストレス。

    Objects and guides frame edges disappear when you click and drag an object on your composition. This makes lining things up impossible because the disappear when you click them

    This is a known downside of the Real-Time Drawing and Editing mode.
    To workaround this, you can either switch it off in Preferences > Performance, or disable GPU preview in View menu.
    Also please vote for the option that allows users to enable edges when dragging in the Real Time mode:

    During objects moving the movement box on the perimeter is not visible, it is impossible to align the objects between them without the visible perimeter!

    I keep losing the edge of my objects in Illustrator. It is there visible on it when selected but then disappears when dragging and dropping. This is really annoying as it makes it impossible to line up or resize anything accurately.

    This is the 2nd time it has happened. The first time I uninstalled (Forgetting all previous presets when the prompt came up asking) Then re installed it. This solved the problem...However it is extremely annoying and time consuming as I have to redo my work space every time I have to uninstall.

    I am running on a brand new 2020 i Mac Catalina Version 10.15.7

    Is there a better fix for this?

    Please advise
