Some further research revealed that the instance bounding info is derived from the original mesh and most likely it is the actual reason the bounding box is not drawn on the instanced mesh. But obviously it shouldn’t be like that and the bounding info and box of the instanced mesh should be calculated based on the instance position, not the original mesh, is it?

Please correct me if I’m wrong, @Deltakosh
