  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

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

    Not working for me! Is there a fix for this? Thanks

    Space bar is also not working for me. Please fix.

  • Todd Mucurio commented  ·   ·  Report

    Zoom ± correction(?): Maybe it's Shift+Cmd+Spacebar (+), Sh+C+Sp+Option (–). It's reflexive so my recall is suspect. Either way, the beloved shortcut is missing.

    Thanks for the reply. Hoped latest release would do the trick but it hasn't. Already running 24.2.1

    damnright this is BUAHHHH I need the space bar functionality it back!

    Hi Adobe team, we are paying for a service that is not fulfilled without this tool. Maybe you should review your pricing until this tool is not fully functional.

    Can't work at all. Please, fix it!

    This has been happening for over a year. Something triggers it and then it's like another application is fighting for control of the spacebar. Sometimes you can see it flashing back and forth between the cursor and the zoom loop. It locks out all keyboard shortcuts involving the spacebar including pan, zoom in, zoom out. The only way to fix it is to reboot completely.

    I'm experiencing this issue constantly. A simple restart does not resolve the problem.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Mine isn't working either. Address this, please.

    Has this been under review for over a year? Unbelievable.

    Having the same issue today with the spacebar not working as the Hand tool. Beyond frustrating.

  • CG commented  ·   ·  Report

    Hello Adobe folks. I would like to point out there are over 400 comments on this thread and the spacebar hand tool is a necessity for using Illustrator. Please drop whatever projects you are working on for future updates and fix this first. Love ya'll.
