space bar not being recognized by a number of apps

The space bar is not always recognized by a number of applications, including, but not limited to:


bbedit

signal

photoshop

facebook


I've swopped out keyboards (bluetooth and usb) + run disk utilities numerous times. Has anyone else had this problem & found a solution?


OS 12.6.1

Spacebar not working is usually means you have Full Keyboard Access turned on by mistake. Check your Accessibility settings and make sure it is OFF.
