Space bar (slow to space-respond) on MacBook Pro 15"(2018) running Catalina...

Space bar issues whilst typing (Mail & other documents) even here (this post). Space bar "period" seems to lag or dwell for longer than normal. I had the same issue a couple of months back, went away now doing it again!

I really don't think it's a dust issue under the key - I think it's software "lag" issue ?

I had to go back over this message and correct spacings.

Anyone else - Apple?

Thoughts?

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.15
