Hi @ja0,

Which browser are you using? Are you also experiencing this when switching to another browser?

Best regards

Thanks for your reply. I’m using Firefox. I’m not having an issue with Chrome but I’d prefer to have it working in Firefox if possible.

Hi @ja0,

If it’s a browser-specific issue, can you please deactivate all Firefox extension, clear cookies and cache and check if the issue persists? If it doesn’t, then it’s very likely an extension related issue.

In that case, you would enable the extension again, one by one, and check after each one. That way you can single out the one that’s causing the problem.

Best regards!

Clearing site data worked… That’s very strange that some sort of data affects typing in an input field.

It didn’t work for me. But it’s completely random. Some text blocks work fine, some get the weirdidon’tknowwhyitwon’tletmeusethespacebar.  
I am using Chrome. I’ll try it in Safari.
