    Default Space bar inoperative when I "reply with quote"

    Title really says it all. Anywhere else on the internet and/or this forum the space bar operates. When I type a "reply with quote" on this forum, there are no spaces between words. If I go back to my sentence with the cursor, I can insert spaces. What's up?

    I've had the same problem, even had it now replying to this. If I hit the return key and then back up my space bar works.

    Seems to be working correctly for me. However, I am using Microsoft Edge 38.14393.0.0.

    Yup.. it does that sometimes.. just hit 'enter' a few times then it goes away.. you can then go back up to the top and type like normal.

    Strange interwebs...

    I've noticed that TapaTalk no longer works either.

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    It's a little more work; but here's how I've coped with this phenomenon:
    I'll simply highlight the copy from another post, then copy, and paste it into mine.

    Period, Return, Return. Then the spacebar will work just fine.

    I have the same problem. Also on PM replies. I'd say same system.

    I hit the 'Enter' key. It drops down a line and then the space bar works. Or, you can put a comma (') between each word!

    Plenty of workarounds. But a very unique problem. I've not encountered it anywhere else.

    I have had problems with it too when replying with a quote. I found if I start right at the end of the quote everything works fine. When I'm done I put the cursor at the beginning of my response & hit the enter key to space my stuff away.
