blackxacto Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) 19,1 iMac, Monterey 12.0.1, Affinity Photo 1.10.4: I have two keyboards, wired and bluetooth. Both will not insert space between words in Affinity 1.10.4 and Photoshop 2022. Does anyone know what I have done, or what Monterey did? I can type spaces in TextEdit, Safari, here on the Affinity Forum, the Photoshop forum, Notability, Apple Mail, Apple Books, etc. etc. But in two photo programs I cannot get the space bar to insert space when typing words. I have unplugged the iMac, replugged, wiped the SSD, installed only Monterey and photo programs alone. They will not allow the space bar to insert space. But all other apps, yes, it works. Also what is the blue outline box that appears when I am hitting the space bar unsuccessfully?

v_kyr Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Looks weired, it sets a selection and clears a selection that's all. And what is that floating [1 .. 8] panel indicating here in your case?

walt.farrell Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Does it work if you try to type a space normally, rather than inserting it after the fact?

Old Bruce Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I have to ask what is the little floating list with 8 selected? Never seen anything like that in 30+ years of working with Macs.

I have run onto this when typing Latin text with certain CJK fonts. But I have not yet investigated why this happens. Does it still happen if you change to a different font? Could you please attach your test document? I would like to look at what Unicode characters are actually there, if any, that we cannot see.

Old Bruce Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Another question. Why is your cursor red? Is that a Mac OS 12 thing?

At long last Apple caught up with a feature I first started using back in the late 1990s. All it took was 'xterm*cursorColor: red' added to my .Xresources file.

There have been reports of problems with the colourful cursor reported elsewhere on the web. It seems to cause memory leaks. I haven't heard of it losing white space though.

Note that the problem with typing spaces was not due to the color cursor, but to the Enable Full Keyboard Access setting.

Move to the previous UI element: Press Shift-Tab. Move between items in a group (such as a list of files in a folder or items in a sidebar): Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow key, or the Left Arrow or Right Arrow key.

Temporarily disable Full Keyboard Access When Full Keyboard Access is enabled on your Mac, you can use Pass-Through Mode to temporarily turn it off when needed—for example, if you’re playing an online game and don’t want Full Keyboard Access to interfere with game interaction—then turn it back on.

walt.farrell Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 It's still a puzzle, though, why some apps still allow the OP to type spaces with that setting enabled. They must do something to automatically disable some or all of that access function.
