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,
Illustrator Team

Just to make sure nobody thinks this is resolved for everyone by closing browsers, closing Chrome, Safari, and every other program on my computer still DOES NOT solve the problem for me. And I do not have webroot installed. When it goes, I can shut down everything except for Illustrator, and the space bar hand tool functionality is still gone, until I completely restart my computer.

As others have mentioned, quitting all open web browsers fixed the issue. Which begs the question...why on Earth should Safari being open have any effect on Illustrator??

same here. nothing got it back, then i accidentally press a combination of buttons to initiate siri popup. i closed the pop up and the hand showed back. Not sure if there's something to do with system shortcuts interfering with app keys usage.

I found a workaround in Photoshop. Go to the Photoshop/Preferences/General. Click on "Enable Flick Panning". Just toggle that on and off. Fixed the problem for me.

Guys, If you have any browsers (Safari,Chrome) open, just quit them whilst keeping illustrator open. It worked for me.

THANK YOU -- PERSON WHO RECOMMENDED HOLDING DOWN THE SPACE BAR! This worked for me. I had have this problem off and on (1 day out of 30) for the past year (all of 2018), and then after 2 days, or 2 hours, or some other random time period had passed, the grabber/space bar function would work again.
But I just restarted my machine (holding down the space bar until the apple logo appeared) and my space bar is back in business! HOORAY!!!!! (AND THANKS AGAIN! :) -
