    So it’s obviously not fixed, and we all know it.

    While the cursor gets changes into the horizontal/vertical two-headed arrow, the center handles for the bounding box indeed don’t appear, if the width/height of the art (here just an orthogonal line) is small enough.

    Please continue to share you thought, screenshots, GIFs. It’s time to re-review this again.

    I draw technical diagrams for clients and need to extend or shorten lines regularly. Why would you change such an obvious action - fundamental to drawing? I need the centre handles! I've been using Adobe Illustrator for 15 years. My old version of illustrator was fine! I upgrade my PC - I upgrade Windows 10 - I upgrade illustrator by investing in a new monthly plan - only it feels like it's a downgrade because it now lacks in my view what is a main feature. Please Adobe give me my money's worth and sort the centre handle problem!
