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,
Illustrator Team

I am in the Photoshop CC 20.0.0 release and can not get my space bad to work as shortcut to the hand tool. Alienware 17 r4 computer. No webroot on my laptop. Please advise solutions. Thank you.

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! :) -

Please can you fix the Spacebar issue, normally it works as the Hand Tool! I tried to add this manually via
Edit > Keyboard shortcuts, but wont allow me to add the spacebar function. -

Found that I had an unfamiliar utility running in the far right of my dock (forget the name, btu it started after I upgraded to Mojave). I quit it and the spacebar came back instantly.

geoparkin , thanks for the advice but that doesn't work for me. Nothing does. I've deleted my preferences, deleted the app and reloaded, restarted the computer, shut it down completely. Nothing.
With more careful observations, it's not exactly the hand tool stuck: I may use the selection tool to click on an object and nothing happens. So I click again, then go to move it an inch and it seems as if I'm clicking and dragging, and the cursor races acroos the screen, selecting everything in its path to the infinite edges of the illustrator (where no man nor woman has gone before), where no workspace or object exists. So, I recenter. Double click something, and suddenly things are flying again.
My new suspicion is that it's operating so so so slowly that even my most patient clicks are not read until they are a cluster that together do something I did not want them to ever do.
Does this make any sense at all? Does illustrator take up more RAM when operating than photo shop or indesign? Maybe I just have a memory problem...

I've had this issue occur on a number of occasions, and it's certainly not a problem that's specific to MacBooks or High Sierra, as I experienced it with earlier versions of the OS, and my set up is iMac/Wacom Cintiq. Extremely frustrating, especially when you're in the flow and working to a tight deadline. The only reliable fix I've found is a re-start, after which things usually revert back to normal. Until the next time it happens, of course...

I have this same issue. Really slows be down. What is the fix besides a full restart? Super frustrating.

Shutdown Webroot! This will restore function to the spacebars tool toggle
