My Magic Keyboard does not space words, its keeps them all connected. How do I fix this issue?

When typing an email for any other document like Microsoft Teames or Outlook, the words all stay connected without any spaces. I can not get it to repeat as I am typing these details

magic keyboard There are no spaces between the words I type using the magic keyboard each morning. I have to close down the computer and restart and then the proper spaces show up. I have no problem with spacing for the remainder of the day but it starts again the next morning. What can I do to solve this problem?

MacOS Sonoma: Editing draft email problem, no input possible Since updating to Sonoma, I have a very weird and annoying problem editing draft emails in Apple Mail: I have a plain text draft email saved. If I then open it to edit the contents, I can move the cursor around, but if i put it at the beginning of an empty line, it often will ignore all keystrokes. If I press enter, a new line will be created and the cursor moves down. The input is still blocked, but now the last character pressed will appear on the old line (above the cursor). Only if I first press space or move to another section in the draft, I can add characters and edit the mail as usually. It might even be the case, that I can write text to certain lines of the draft, but not others. It does never happen when adding text to a line which already has some text. The problem does not happen consistently: Sometimes editing drafts works fine, sometimes not. Also, if the problem occurs, it does not happen in all empty lines of a draft mail, but only some. Here is a screengrab for better understanding the behaviour: Switch on the audio to hear me typing! imgur.com/a/Wazx9os Additional info: Pretty much all 'intelligent' features such as spelling correction or the new autocomplete feature are disabled. Also, it does not seem related to any network activity, as it also occurs when offline. My keyboard is German. MacOS is 14.2.1 (23C71), but I have had this problem with all versions since upgrading to Sonoma. I only have this in Mail, eg. textEdit is fine. My hunch is, this might be connected to the url detection feature in mail (not this super-annoying 'link preview' feature which I switched off, but just the normal url detection), which somehow might interfere with the new word prediction feature (although the latter is also disabled in the keyboard settings), but this is really just guessing. One would think "reliably entering text into a computer using a keyboard" was solved some 70+ years ago, but alas, here we are… any hints anyone?
