Bounding box does not get updated when 'Use Preview Bounds' is toggled
- Create a circle.
- Apply a large Outside stroke to it
- Make sure you have bounding box turned on in View menu
- Open Preferences using menu (not a Ctrl+K hotkey, this is important)
- Toggle Use Preview Bounds option, commit changes
The bounding box does not get updated. To force to to become larger/smaller (it depends on you initial state of it), you have to click/move the shape, to force it to redraw.
However, if you call Preferences via a hotkey, Ctrl+K, the brief moment you hold Ctrl is enough to toggle the selection tool to Direct Selection, which makes Ai hide the bounding box before Preferences dialog appears. And after you close the window, Ai renders it again, but now of the proper size and the bug does not manifest.
This is a small thing, but there are many of these, broken here and there. One grain of sand in a dish is not a big deal, but a spoon of them is significant. Maybe you should start fixing these.

Here is another case reported by a user.
Just open it, select the circle, go to the Appearance panel, double-click contents to access the only child of the group, and change the stroke. Once it's changed, the bounding box becomes larger than the actual bounds stays like this until the document is reloaded.
