The space bar in my Mac Air doesn't introduce a space between words 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!

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

Thank you, that solved the space problem.

I should have come to you first because I dealt with this issue for months.
