Repeat object has no indication of selection when bounding box is off
Repeats is broken right from the start and you are not even planning to improve it... OK, not improve it, but just to make stable, as it was supposed to be.
Here in the GIF, I have Bounding Box turned on, and it seems it works OK.
Then I disable bounding box (which is normal for me and a lot of other users). Again — AI allows to turn if OFF, and everything works without it just FINE — except for Repeats and area type text (but this is another tale).
Now, when I select both objects, the repeat object looks like it’s not selected at all, but it is — I move them and both get moved.
Even funnier it becomes when I try to select only the Repeat object — I see controls, I can change them... but I can’t move the object. More of it — I can’t deselect it by clicking the canvas or another object! Only with the Deselect All command.
WTF?!
