Hi,

I have had a weird problem for some time. When I restart Ubuntu the
space key doesn't work. If I go into System > Preferences > Keyboard
and (for example) add a keyboard layout, or remove an extra keyboard
layout or make some other change .... then the space key will work.
But note - I am using the same default US keyboard layout the whole
time. Nothing is changing about the settings being used. It seems to
be that if I make ANY change in the Keyboard control panel, then the
space bar will start working again. Weird huh? Any ideas how to fix
this for good?
Have a look in 'System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts' and make sure
you haven't attached some other function to the space bar. I did that
once and it took me a while to work out what was going on.
