The space bar in my Mac Air doesn't introduce a space between words. Instead it pops up a blue frame around the window in use. To put a space between words I need to press shift+space bar which makes typing very slow. Can this problem be fixed? Cheers!

Hi Tingeling2022,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! There are couple if settings that may cause what you are describing. First is an accessibility shortcut that let's you control your Mac with a keyboard. To check follow these steps:
Next, you'll want to check if Full Keyboard Access is enabled. This is used to navigate your Mac with your keyboard as well. To check:
Hope this helps!
Have a great day.

Hi Lissy_12!
Thank you very much! I could fix the first part, but I couldn't find the Accessibility menu, maybe it's because the OS installation language is Swedish (very unhappy, I preferred the English version).
Have a great evening! :-)
Thanks for getting back to us with that information, Tingeling2022,
It sounds like you were able to clear up the issue. That's always great to hear!
Feel free to get back to us with any questions or problems you may have.
All the best.
I actually found that second part of the fix (accessibility) and I think the problem is solved.
Cheers!!!!
