Really really simply question.

In my own computer when I create a button with Xcode, I can see the blue outline.

But, in my office's computer I do the same thing I can't see the blue outline (and can't figure out how much bigger the button is).

What is happening?

I've recorded a video and uploaded to YouTube in order to be more clear — https://youtu.be/Bl_aOXxtIeA

PS: I've been trying to solve this thing on last 3 days, and no luck, even contacting a friend which is an iOS developer.

On my iMac, with XCode 7.2, I don't have the outline either.

Have you the same version of XCode on both computers ? Is only the most recent showing he outline ?

Looks like 'Show bounds rectangle' is enabled in Xcode's Editor > Canvas menu on the computer displaying the blue box.

There's a lot of interesting options in this canvas menu.

In particular, when fighting with auto layout constraints, "Shows involved views for selected constraints" is very helpful.
