Macbook Pro 2018 space bar double spacing

Hi my macbook pro 2018 is double spacing on a single spacebar press super frequently it's a nightmare. I've left this paragraph exactly as I've typed it so you can see how often it happens, there shouldn't be any double spacing here. Since this seems to be a well known issue can I still get warranty coverage? Thanks

Touch Bar - Spaces - Control Strip expand problem I have the same problem as mentioned in these 3 other topics: When changed the Touch Bar to spaces view… - Apple Community Touch Bar in spaces view, the Control Str… - Apple Community Touch Bar - Spaces - Control Strip - Apple Community This is more of a software issue, since "App controls" option expands the control strip normally and it folds back, but any other option that shows the small control strip (spaces, quick actions) is having this problem where the expanded control strip is not functional There doesn't seem to be a resolution for this -> is there any progress on apple side? When i went to apple support (Contact - Official Apple Support) about this issue, the only option is to bring the mac to my local retailer for repairs, but they don't have the insight on resolving this issue and told me to contact apple support (which again sends me to my retailer, it's an infinite loop) I've also sent feedback via this link: Feedback - MacBook Pro - Apple to help escalate the issue

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

MacBook Pro M4 screen notch, camera housing gap in menu bar What’s with this crazy Apple idea of having a huge gap (over 35mm long) at the top of the MBP screen? I know it’s where the camera lives, but my previous MBPs never had this. If I have any more than about 10 items on the right side of the menu bar, they disappear into the notch. Not so bad if one of those apps also has a place in the dock, but if an app is not also in the dock, there is no way to access that particular app. I’ve tried deleting items from the menu bar, but date & time, Control Centre, volume, bluetooth, battery info, Wi-Fi etc are vital in my normal working routine. How does anyone else get around this annoying ‘feature'? 2024 14” MBP

Check System Preferences > Keyboard. Your Key Repeat speed setting may be too fast or the Delay Until Repeat may be too short. In my experience Key Repeat should be 1-2 ticks below Fast and Delay Until Repeat should be kept at the middle setting.
