Cannot resize objects and artboard using handles
Possible new bug in Illustrator as of 9/3/25. Cannot resize objects and artboard. No handles appear for me to freely resize. Any solution to this issue?

Andra, can you please record a small video (it doesn’t have to be the full screen) and show how exactly does it behave for you?

UPDATE: Cannot grab handles, but if I put the selector tool inside the graphic box on the corners, I'm able to resize them. But I didn't have to do this before. Also I cannot resize the artboards. No double arrow appears for me to grab the handles and resize freely.

Andra, in another report (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46864045) you commented the bounding box is enabled for you, and it makes it different from most of 'my handles are gone' entries here...
Please tell more — does it happen for all objects? Images, placed or embedded? Live shapes? Hand-drawn paths? In any file (new, old)?
I’d suggest to make a copy of your Preferences (<OSDisk>\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator <version number> Settings\<locale> (e.g. en_US)\x64\Adobe Illustrator Prefs) — to share with a team if needed later — and to reset them from you Preferences > General. Please comment back.
