Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Just set up a new Mac Studio using Ventura 13.5. I always used Quick Look to see pictures and docs by pressing spacebar to view and then again to close. Now spacebar opens the file in Preview. NOT good. Pressing spacebar again does not close the window and the up/down keys don't scroll thru the files in the open window. This really stinks. I need a return to normalcy. Advice?
Mac Studio (2023)
I talked to Apple Support. The fix was simple. In Settings/Accessibility/Keyboard, I unchecked Full Keyboard Access. This also fixed the problem with selecting and scrolling thru emails in Mac Mail and that annoying blue outline box in my windows..
Game over, man.

Has the user installed or used and Third Party Security Software or Disk Cleaners ?
They should be removed as per Developers Instructions
Or better still >>
Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.
This is a Diagnostic Tool that makes no changes to the computer.
It makes a coherent and readable inventory of both the Hardware and Software used on the computer

What the rest of us running Ventura 13.5.2 see is Quick Look opening an image and then in the upper-right corner, the option of opening the image in the default specified application which is usually Preview, though for some RAW files it may be a different application (if that is installed).
For me, Quick Look does not automatically open the optional designated application when selecting an image and pressing the spacebar. Pressing the Esc key, or the spacebar again dismisses the Quick Look viewer.
All your answers confirm that this should not be happening, but it is.
No Third Party Security Software or Disk Cleaners in use or installed.
I may try that analytical tool though it shouldn't be necessary.
The Etrecheck Application should Not the required , agree on that point.
But it may or may not give Us some insight to the hardware and software on the machine
It is not the Silver Bullet though is a useful tool
Works as always for me.
Try booting into Safe Mode then restart normally. Sometimes that will fix anomalies.
Didn't work. Updated to 13.5.2. Didn't work. I hate this.
Follow on
Like previous contributor - it just works on 3 different M1/ M2 Apple Silicon Computers here
I don't suppose that you are pressing the option key concurrent with the spacebar when selecting a file? That opens the document in a full-screen Quick Look window, but not Preview.
No, but thanks for thinking of me.
Quick Look opens file in Preview. Huh??
