Space bar not working for PLAY/STOP in Premiere

[PeterCorbett]

For some reason the space bar has stopped working for playback controls on the timeline or viewers.  I installed 15.4.1 a couple of weeks ago but had so many issues I rolled back to 15.4.0.  But now the space bar doesn't control the stop/start function on the timetime or the source/program viewers.

Mac Pro 5,1 Mojave

• Trashed the preferences
• Checked the keyboard preferences
• Tried using a default Adobe workspace
• Copied the timeline to a new sequence
• Created a new project and impoted the old one
• Checked the default keyboard settings in OSX preferences.
• Disabled the second monitor to see if that was the issue
• Shut Premiere, cold booted the Mac (several times)
  
  

All no good.  Suggestions?

Hi Peter,

Sorry for your issue.

Does it work if you create a new project (do not import any media) and add Bars and Tones to it? What are your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS)? Also, what happens if you switch the renderer to Software Only?

Let us know

Thanks,

Nishu

I'll give these suggestions a go Nishu.  Specs are 2012 Mac Pro 5,1 48GB Ram, RX580 GPU, 6-core 3.3GHz Xeon, 8TB Highpoint M.2 Raid, OSX 10.14.6.

Restore the space bar to its' basic function of spacing by unchecking "Full Access" in the Keyboard section of Mac Preferences.  Fixed the problem in PP.  Also unfroze scrolling keys.

hey do u mind being more specific where the "full access" checkbox is? I'm looking in System Settings > Keyboard, but don't see any option titled "full access" under this section. Thanks!

and what about people who dont have computers like MAC and have this problem on PC?
How about us?
I am yet to see someone give us a solution...

PC/Windows user here, all updated software as of writing: I haven't found a fix for this (I've tried changing the shortcut for play-stop toggle, stop, play AND I've tried restarting the program, and my laptop), but for me spacebar still works for STOP, just not for PLAY. I'm just gonna move forward with using the Shuttle Right key (which is L by default, I've mapped mine to X.)

Hope this helps.

Update: WORKS after disabling the looped playback option for me!
