Youtube always uses shortcuts
Hi there,
As of today I'm having an issue with YouTube as it seems to always use shortcuts. What I mean is, if I'm watching a video and go to the search bar and try to type, if I press space it will pause the video and not give me a space in the text. If during typing i use letter F it will full screen the video the video and give me also the letter it's the same with other letter shortcuts.
Tested Firefox in safe mode, the issue persists. Tried on chrome it works flawlessly.
No extra extensions turned on, restarted the PC and cleared cache
Can you please advise if this is something new or a known issue?
Thank you

Looks like a YouTube bug where JavaScript always interprets a space bar press as play/pause and doesn't disable this action when an input field has focus.

A possible workaround for now is to place a space on the clipboard (i.e. type a space and select it and copy the space to the clipboard) and paste this space if necessary. You can possibly use the location bar to get the space on the clipboard.
