Just started up program to find the space bar shortcut for the hand tool is not working. Checked Adobe Illustrator CC 2019 and short-cut is also not working.

This is F'ng infuriating... just got a new laptop, and can't figure out what is causing this. Why is this still a problem YEARS later?! No matter what software I quit, the shortcuts don't come back until I restart, so I can't figure out what may be causing the conflict.

Quitting the web browser worked but not a good workaround. Please fix.

I have a new macbook pro with new CC softwear and NOT using Chrome, so what is the real issue? Been using this since ID Version 1.o its a GoTO and must have.

Hey Adobe, THIS IS NOT OKAY! Closing your browser is not an efficient nor appropriate solution.

What if all web browsers are closed and the problem persists? The only fix at the moment is a full restart until it inevitably comes back again.

EDIT: I found a fix here that has worked for me

Bug is back and worse than ever in ID 2020. It's because Chrome is open.

Close all your webbrowsers and try again.
