Youtube Space Bar issue

When I am searching for videos on YouTube, I cannot use the space bar. For instance if I search "Charlie bit my finger" it would enter "Charliebitmyfinger" in the search bar because the space is not working. It will work to pause videos however. I also notice that sometimes when I type "k" it will also start and stop the video. I tried not allowing youtube.com permissions to override my keyboard, but that did nothing. I was still able to pause videos using space bar or 'k'. Any suggestions?
