Bounding Box disabled?

I have the Bounding Box option selected in the Render Summary section of
preferences, but I don't get shown bounding box information after
preview or render.

It's not a feature I'm familiar with - is there something else I need to
do?

I can't find any related issue in github. I'm running the June 8
development snapshot.

Cheers,

Steve

You will not get it on preview.
On a render, you will only get it if it is all one object.
When I want to know the bounding box I put everything inside a union().

Larry,

Thanks, that explains it. I have two objects.
