Spacebar not working as quick Pan / Hand tool
Spacebar has stopped working as hand tool as of 2018 update.

Hi,
Thanks for the information provided to the Illustrator team.
We are able to reproduce this issue at our end and the engineering team is currently isolating this issue further to get to the root cause.
With Best Regards,

Again. Fix this Adobe. Make sure your products are 100% reliable before pushing updates on us.
We all rely on your products heavily. A lot of your bugs slow us down, especially when we're on a short timeline. This makes using your products more expensive.

Agreed! Spacebar as the shortcut for the hand tool is absolutely essential. I've just setup a new computer with the latest CC and Illustrator is saying that the spacebar is not a valid shortcut key - since when? In the last 5 min. of me designing something I've needed that spacebar over 20x in a large document. Please push an update soon. I cannot stress how important this shortcut is for your users.

HELP! My spacebar move shortcut is not working. It only works with the H shortcut, which is not helpful. The spacebar move tool is CRITICAL to my design work. I have had "help" by two Abobe persons and all they did was reset all my settings the default (twice) and sit till does not work. Is this a known bug still?!?! How do I restore that functionality? Please fix it!

Why is this issue still existant with the next two versions? I'm running into this same issue in 2020.

I'm not sure why, but this problem was fixed after a later reboot. I closed all of my apps, turned my computer off and waited a while. After rebooting, I no longer had the issue. I'll post again if it recurs.

I Think they are the two most important function for .a professionist and at the Adobe they don't undestand it

Same issue just happened to me. Ugh! Spacebar shortcut stopped working.
I can't figure out how to get it back. Restarting Illustrator doesn't help. Restarting Chrome doesn't help. Catalina 15.2. Illustrator 24.01 -

Restarting doesn't fix the problem for me. Also the quick magnifying glass keyboard commands have stopped working as well. This issue needs to be fixed ASAP!

Is there still no fix for this? I have to restart my computer at least twice a day thanks to this bug.
