Layer selection handles are not visible

Question

When creating a layer in DW 8 via the Insert > Layer
Objects > Layer or by clicking on Draw Layer in the Layout tab
in the Insert menu the Layer defaults to the width of my Design
window. When I click on a Layer I cannot access any of the
selection handles.
Questions:
1. How can I size a Layer to my liking instead of it always
taking the width of my screen?
2. What can I do so I can see eight selection handles when I
click on a Layer?
Thanks for looking.

Answer 1

It sounds like you are looking at a <div> that is not a
layer (it needs to
be absolutely positioned to be a layer). Is that the case? If
it is, then
it SHOULD be the width of the screen, and it should have no
resize handles.
TO change the size you would need to edit the CSS.
