Space bar has stopped working on Mac Mini in google docs

My space bar randomly stops working while I am typing in GOOGLE DOCS. It is NOT the keyboard, as I have used keyboards manufactured by Logitech, Anker, and Apple.

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 Ari Sunaryono

Space bar no longer scrolls page down? I have a new M2 Mac Mini with an Apple Touch ID keyboard. When I'm reading a long pdf, word doc, article on webpage, etc, hitting the space bar does not scroll down a page like it used to on my old iMac. Hitting the space bar puts a blue outline around the webpage. However, if I hit shift+space it will scroll up a page. The keyboard does other weird things like hitting the tab key causes blue outlines to go around links and other things. It does this regardless of whether the Keyboard Navigation slider is set on or off in the System settings. Is there a setting someplace I'm missing? Appreciate any input.

Make sure that you have Full Keyboard Acces turned off in Accessibilities settings

if it's only in google docs then I would check if it affects other browsers than safari, if it was general then I suppose I would suspect some google webclient issue to be the cause
