I didnt know how to word this but I somehow changed a setting in which I CAN select images but the box is no longer around it (handles, too). It isn't an autoselect issue since that looks normal. Any idea on what I toggled off by accident? It was some magical keyboard shortcut as something was placed on the keyboard that caused the whole issue. Additionally, any new document has overlay on by default as well. Can't switch that back to auto-off either

Hi there! It sounds like you may have accidentally disabled the View > Show Overlay setting.

This has oft frustrated me too. Methinks image handles should not be included with overlays. "show/hide handles" should be a separate line item in the view menu because "Handles" is not found anywhere in the overlays menu.
