    I've been experiencing this. Also cmd space bar for the zoom tool isn't working at times. I have found that if I put the computer to sleep then wake it up again straight away functionality returns.

    Happening today with latest version. Seems to be Spotify or Chrome or DisplayLink interfering?? Also seems to be after mac has been sleeping.

    I'm using a windows computer and will later try to see if this is a problem on my mac. Please fix!

    This is very annoying. All of the other apps are working fine. Please escalate a solution. Thanks!!

    Simply locking and unlocking my Mac seems to solve it (even if temporarily).

    As of 7/21/20, with the new update, the space bar to access the quick hand tool is not working in either Illustrator or InDesign. Haven't tried Photoshop yet.

    This is a real issue. Thank you for looking into this ... since 2019 ...

    Quit Google Chrome. All will come back to life.
    I don't know why this happens or what the fix is. I am using the latest version of mac OS and adobe.

    This is the most frequently used feature of the Adobe suite, I can't get my head round how this could happen.
