Space bar doesn't work on Adobe Xd

Hi everyone,

I have a problem my space bar doesn't work on Adobe Xd.

I am a beginner and I wanted to test the tutorial but the space bar does not work. Same thing in the normal application.

I am surprised because the space bar works on other software of the CC suite. I am a Windows user (version 10).

If anyone has a solution, I'm interested.

Thanks

I had this same problem when I started.  What you have to do is hold down the spacebar key then hold the left mouse key then press m on your keyboard then release the left mouse key then hold down the left mouse key again and drag

A little bit explain: this problem started when I disabled SHCEDULE on Windows 10 (to prevent auto updates). Aparently, the SCHEDULE starts the process ctfmon.exe which is responsible to communicate the keyboard with some programs. "Press Windows Key + R then type C:\windows\system32\ctfmon.exe" works but, every time you restart your computer, you will have to do it again (manually).

 

To start ctfmon.exe automatically on Windows start, follow these steps: https://answers.microsoft.com/pt-br/windows/forum/all/n%C3%A3o-consigo-digitar-na-pesquisa-do-iniciar/330ebcd2-5e58-4ffd-9f27-0352e4c36927?auth=1 (PT-BR)

I'm facing the issue still even after following the above-mentioned steps.

Adobe XD Version: 31.2.12.4 (Starter), Creative Cloud Sync 4.3.51.3
OS: Windows 10

Hi, when you press the space bar, do you get the hand icon?

Hi italosan​,

In fact I solved the problem. My wacom tablet does not seem to work with Adobe xd. At the moment I'm using my mouse to work. It works like this.

Thank you,
