Safari's YouTube search bar typing issue

I believe it is something simple , but all of sudden I am stuck where YouTube search bar that I can't type without messing interface shortcuts. Space can't be typed at all and appears as play pause, letter M can't be typed and appears as Mute. Restart or empty caches leaves me helpless at the same point.

No problem in Chrome.

Unable to type into search bar in Safari I recently updated to Big Sur and now I’m having issues typing in the search bar in Safari. Say I want to go to Netflix’s website. I start to type in “ne” then it erases what I typed on its own. I’ve scanned for malware using Malwarebytes and it found nothing. Is the only thing I can do is do a fresh reinstall of Big Sur again?

Spacebar doesn't work sometimes in Safari Quite often, while I use Safari to enter texts, the spacebar doesn't work (no response when the spacebar is pressed, but a blue rectangle shows up randomly). But it works with other apps like Notes, or Text. For not any particular reason, it works again after a while. Need some help to identify what is wrong in my computer or operation. Current system: Mac mini M1 2020, Monterey 12.3.1 Apple bluetooth keyboard (first generation) and mouse (2nd generation) Thanks.

When I open a new tab in Safari (OSX) it deletes what I type. Hey all, Bit of a strange issue. Whenever I open a new tab with CMD+T and immediately start typing (something I have always done with chrome) it will delete the first part of what I am writing and start again (after half a second or so). I know this seems stupid but it really grinds my flow to a halt. I have attached a brief screen recording of the bug occurring. I do a search in a normal window (showing normal function) I then CMD+T to a new tab and as soon as I have done this, I start typing my search. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMHuD2EQIhs Any ideas or suggestions about how I can fix this annoying bug? Also, so as not to crowd the forum with another post, could a mod please message me about changing my default forum profile name please?

No doubt problems on other sites will pop up.

I was dreaming that I type or check something and some five year kid will point me to it. Looks like bit more complex
