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,

There's some kind of conflict regarding the input or something. If you type a bunch of spaces in the address-bar in whatever browser you're using, the hand tool becomes available when pressing space in Illustrator. No need for closing software, at least not in my experience.

Same issue for me, fixed by quitting Chrome. But, well...

This is incredibly annoying. I ran the Sierra update and am working on a mac pro—not sure if that makes a difference. I don't even have Safari open. Anyone having luck?

Delete the app and reinstall, it only happens with MacBooks for some reason.

Did anyone find a work around for this? I am trying to use PS and it's basically useless.

IF YOU QUIT SAFARI THE HANDTOOL WORKS AGAIN.. But 90% of us NEED to access data from the web and design at the same time. WHY is this happening?? This would be an easy fix especially if 10,000 designers have finally identified the problem and reported it. YES, if you quit Safari, the hand tool STILL works even after you've restarted Safari but WHY?? It should work ALL THE TIME.. this conflict is something that APPLE and ADOBE NEED TO ADDRESS ferchristsakes!

Alright - I quit Safari - and space bar started working again. Restarted safari and spacebar is still working. So - I think it is the Mac OS system that is kicking in with the issue. That is my guess.
