I've got a problem in Illustrator with the bounding box, I've already searched the whole web but i can't find a fix for this! Is there a way to set the bounding box always to the path, not the contur ? I know there is probably a simple solution to this, but i really can't seem to find it.

This is really annoying, i hope you can help me out with this!

Under Preferences → General, there is an option called "Use Preview Bounds".

Turning this on will force the bounding box to fit to the visual appearance of what you select, so it will include strokes or any other appearance attributes you have. I assume you have this turned on....

Turning it off will force the bounding box to fit to path data only; exactly as you want.
