The discussion is about a spacebar key issue on websites within the Brave Browser, where it works in the search bar but not on site text fields

My keyboard is fine and works perfectly. Every browser functions normally, and websites like YouTube, Crunchyroll, and others also work without issues. However, the spacebar doesn’t work on websites when using Brave browser.

When I type in the Brave browser’s search bar or address bar, the spacebar works fine. But when I’m typing on websites opened within Brave, the spacebar stops working.

I’ve tried everything — reinstalling Brave, turning off Shields, and other fixes — but nothing has worked.

One thing I did notice is that if I press Shift + Spacebar, it works. Also, if I hold the spacebar for around 3 seconds, it eventually adds a space, but sometimes the spacing is weirdly large.

Can anyone help me please, it’s so annoying I have to go for another browser but I don’t want to

You can check brave://settings/system/shortcuts and ensure that the space bar key is not assigned to some other action. I would also recommend disabling any extensions you have installed in the browser at this time and test to see if one of them was causing the issue.
