  21.8 Unresponsive Spacebar Issue

  Posted by Troy DeGroot on January 27, 2026 at 5:28 pm

  There is a known issue right now in Revu 21.8 where the spacebar may not be responsive for some users. As a workaround, disable the spellcheck feature. This will resolve the issue until they fix it in the next update.

  this is new.
  I doubt I would ever suspect the software if a keystroke wasn’t working. I’d be wondering what was up with my keyboard.

  Good to know though.

  I actually do not know what spacebar does or are you just talking about when entering text?

    I’m guessing it is to do with changing between the Select and Pan tools as you are moving around a drawing.

    It’s actually for typing in any text tool like the Textbox, Callout, Cloud+, Typewriter, etc.

    Second part of my answer, when you are in a command and want to pan to a different area of the document without canceling the tool, you can hold your spacebar.
