This week I'm having an odd problem with this forum and the only other forum I frequent, which is also Vbulletin
When I start to type in a reply, my space bar doesn't work
If I hit return or backspace then go back to where I was, the space bar starts working. It happens each time I newly open either of these forums but then works fine until I close the tab and reopen it again.
Hmmm.....

It's not just you! I'm having the same issue but only on my work computer. At home, I'm fine. I use Chrome on both so I don't know what it could be.

There have been attempted hacks on the internet for the past couple of weeks. I don't know if this explains it. I have been having trouble with various online things.

I had the same spacebar problem on Friday night.

Yes, it is a problem that appears to be specific to vbulletin, as I've also had that issue. If you hit enter you can usually start using your space bar again.

I wondered what was going on.

Possible work around - I find that this is kicking in when I make a lot of changes in the editor, BUT - if I put a character in the box, then put the cursor IN FRONT of that character, then type, my space bar works normally.

I find that when replying as long as I don't enter down (write directly adjacent to the person I'm quoting). Then I can use the space bar. Then at the end I enter down to format it better.

Seems to be a bug with the latest version of Chrome and an OLD version (which we are stuck with) of the wysiwyg editor (which I use).
But try this...
BEFORE TYPING ANYTHING, press ENTER.
Then try typing normally. Works for me!

trying again. nope. if you're at the VERY end of the quick reply box, space bar still doesn't work. If you put a character in, then move the cursor back before the end of your text, it works....

Hmm, this seems to have fixed it?
