For my imported images, the bounding box will sometimes disappear, and I don't know how to get it back. The images do have states on them, though there are also other images on the stage with states that still do have a bounding box.
I've attached an image, showing how when "WB" is selected, the bounding box is there, but not when "Dwayne" is selected.
Does anyone know why they've disappeared and how to get them back?
Thanks for sharing the file. It seems that if you set the characters to their Normal state as the initial state, the box does appear.
Would you be able to share a few of the image files you are using for the different states? I would like to see if I can recreate the issue in a new file.
I have been testing with these images to try and see what the issue is. So far I can add in the black shadow image, and if i add the 01 image over top as a new state, and use that as initial, it works properly.
However, i have found that when you add a new state in with a new image, if you remove the image used in the normal state (the black shadow) then using this as the initial state makes the item not able to have a selection box.
I am not sure if this is by design, but I am going to report this to the QA team for review. Once i get any updates I will share them here.
For now, if it is possible, you could use the image of 01 as the Normal state, and just keep that as the initial state so you can select the item and get the selection box.
I think I'll just have to do things in a different way than I intended, because I can't have my images start at the normal state due to a different bug. Oh well. Thanks for the solving the mystery, though!
Inconstantly disappearing bounding boxes is still a big issue with builds and I wanted to know if anyone has had any luck with this issue. We need consistent bounding boxes for accessibility but trying to work around this problem is taking longer than the build itself. Any update would be great.
Since this thread is a bit dated, we'll need to gather more information. It would be best to start troubleshooting with our Support Engineers so we can see if this is a bug or not.
Would you mind sharing your file with our Engineers? You can use this link to do so.

Hello Tara!
Do you have a .story file you could share with us?
Sure. Here's an example. The characters don't have boxes, but the WB and the foreground do.

When I set Dwayne to normal, the box did appear, but that didn't work for Becca. Nor does it work for other projects I'm working with.
I've attached a zip of some of the Becca images.

Hello Tara,
What is the bug you are referring to? I can check on the status of that as well.

Thanks for the update, I have submitted a case. Fingers crossed we find a solution.
This is happening for me in SL3 - Bounding box does not show on selected content. What is the latest on this?
Hey Nick,
Thanks for reaching out! Most of this thread is outdated, and Emma's issue was in Storyline 360, so we'll need more info to help pinpoint your issue:
As a next step, I'd recommend sharing your file with one of our support engineers, if possible, to help troubleshoot.
