Thanks for the suggestion -- when I use the On-Screen keyboard, spacebar works normally. But the regular keyboard spacebar still acts like F12.
We've noticed that other keys sometimes do the same thing, like the shift key. But not every time.
This started about 2 weeks ago and has been driving us crazy!

Hi,
Since you are able to use the On-Screen keyboard, the issue is with the regular keyboard.
In case you are using a desktop, then try changing the keyboard.
Thank you.

My computer is a laptop. Is there anything we can do?
Often when the keyboard on a laptop starts causing problems the only realistic remedy is to get an external keyboard and plug it into a USB port (or bluetooth).
