Hi Just installed Photoshop 2021 on new Mac running Big Sur 

Can not get the space bar to pan the image when enlarged. I can do it with the mouse but not space bar and drag as before.

Am I missing something here?

using Photoshop 2021 

Using version 22.4.2

Same issue here. Out of nowhere the spacebar stops to work as a temporary tool to pan the canvas with SPACER + LEFT CLICK (and drag). 
Photoshop 22.4.1 
MacOS 13.1

    This seems to happen intermittently on my computer. Restart solves the issue for me.

    Not sure what you are describing by space bar and drag. Is the mouse not involved with this? Space bar + mouse drag works for me. But on a Mac, space bar is part of the OS functions (something with Spotlight, I believe - I disabled long ago for this reason)

    "Not sure what you are describing by space bar and drag" If you don't understand this, keep your trash knowledge to yourself.

     

    But still some how not surprised that adobe hasn't solved this issue.

    I often find it helpful to reset the preferences after updating the application. Usually, this helps these types of issues.

    Preferences > General > Reset Preferences on Quit
