I cannot fathom any reason why the space bar has started remaining inoperative in LibreOffice. The cursor just does not move when the space bar is pressed (even repeatedly). The space bar works fine in both Thunderbird email compositions, and Firefox such as while I am typing this post.
Any suggestions to make the space bar operative in LibreOffice?
Thanks!
