Bounding Box outside path and wrong dimensions
After 22 years of using Illustrator, the bounding box does not works anymore as it was used to.
When I draw a square of 10mm x 10mm with a centered path of 0,5mm the bounding box was always visualized precisely over the path and the dimensions of the square are 10x10mm
Since yesterday (01.18.2024) the bounding box is visualized outside the path and the dimensions are 10,5 x 10,5mm
Hope that is only a bug and not a feature

This is a feature, and you can disable it.
Go to Preferences > General and turn off Use Preview Bounds option in the bottom right corner.
With this enabled Illustrator includes strokes into the measured bounds.

That's exactly what I needed, you saved my mental sanity
I think I turned on the option by mistake.
After all these years using Ai, it still has surprises for me -

Even the align palette doesn't behave as it should
