Space Bar Shortcut Issue - Hand Tool - Photoshop CC 2018

Hi all,

First time I post something here.

I opened Photoshop CC 2018 this afternoon, I have downloaded the last version but it seems that I am facing an issue with the Space Bar as a shortcut to activate the hand tool.

The space bar don't activate the hand tool anymore.

I have read many thread about this issue but none of the solutions are working. I am working on a Mac, High Sierra, I have tried to open Photoshop with cmd+ctrl+option+shift.. nothing. I have reseted all my preferences... nothing.

It appears that the only way to activate the Hand Tool is by using "H". However the hand tool is not working as usual, as it zoom out and zoom in now, whereas it wasn't the case before. I just had to use the hand to move the layer wherever I wanted...

Could you help me with this ?

Thanks !

Also... my knowledge in Photoshop are very poor. I can't even say that I am a beginner.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the thread. I have closed all my browsers (as advised) and now it is working correctly...weird.

    Thanks a lot
