P: Can't navigate with space button while using content aware fill healing

After updating to the new Lightroom Classic with the content aware fill healing feature, while using the tool, I'm not able to navigate around the image by holding down space bar. It works at first, but as soon as I put down a content aware correction, it no longer works. I have to click outside of the photo entirely before it works again. Seems like a small bug that makes the experience frustrating.

@ouiouiphoto 

Let's start a new thread rather than resurrect this older thread. 

A video would be a great help.  Thank you for the offer!

The Content Aware Healing mode bug with the Space Bar is a Windows only bug.

On Mac, LRC 12.0, when making edits with the Healing Brush, the space to pan funtionality seems to be working in the tests I've just carried out.

I moved this thread to 'Bugs', because the link given above combines two totally different things and so this bug report may go unnoticed.
