Keyboard space bar

My space bar does not work in Google Docs unless I press the shift key along with it. The space bar works fine outside of docs.

Space bar on MacBook Pro won’t work is there a software glitch between the new M1 chip MacBook Pro and Google Chrome browser? My space bar will stop working in Chrome or MS Word but keeps working in Safari and Apple apps. It’s a pretty flimsy space bar too.

Menu bar disappearance in Word This is an incredibly minor problem but my menu bar disappears whenever I go to full screen, specifically in Microsoft Word. I have already altered the setting which prevents the menu bar from automatically disappearing in full screen and it is currently set to "never". However, the menu bar still disappears in full screen but only in Microsoft Word. I have also already tried restarting my computer. If anyone has had this problem before and found a solution, help would be very much appreciated!

I have resolved the problem. For those having the same issue, it turns out I had Full Keyboard Access enabled. Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard to turn it off.

Hope this helps.
