Magic Keyboard Spacebar Glitch

I have the new Magic Keyboard and iPad Air 4th gen. When I use Pages, Number or Keynote the spacebar does not work. It actually closes the document. The weird thing is the spacebar works with Notes, Reminders, Calendar and any other 3rd party apps or search fields. I also tested the iPad Air without the Magic Keyboard and the digital screen keyboard spacebar works properly with ALL apps. I checked to make sure iPad is lined up on the 4 magnetic pins on the iPad>keyboard backboard. Any ideas? Update coming?

Hey there, Newoyaj.

We understand that with certain apps (Pages, Numbers, or Keynote) when you hit the spacebar, the document you were working on closes instead of putting a space, while other apps have no issues.

You took a great step making sure it was connected properly. If you haven't already, you can restart your iPad Air to see if that might help with this issue: Restart your iPad

You can also see if closing those apps and launching those again might be helpful as well: How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Let us know how those steps go. In the meantime, take care.
