Space bar anomalies

Since update to macOS Ventura I have a trouble with my space bar. For example when I'am working on Ms Office (word, excel and power point), to use space bar I have to press shift key + space bar together, otherwise will not work and will appear red or blue box which was never seen before (as attached).


One more thing, keyboard lamp control doesn't work as well.



I use MacBook Pro 2020. Please advice.


Thanks

Go to your Accessibillity settings and make sure the Fuil Keyboard Access is turned OFF.
