Thanks for the report Chris. Those are in fact two separate bugs. Let's use this bug report to track the problem with the spacebar not consistently pausing youtube videos in firefox. I've just tested this in a clean and up-to-date 20.04 virtual machine, and it works as expected for me. I wonder if you're pressing the key for too long, which would trigger two keyboard events to be sent to the application? What happens when you press the spacebar with a text field in focus (for instance the address bar in firefox), how many spaces are inserted?
Could you please run the following command in a terminal, this will attach useful debugging information to this bug report? apport-collect 1913176 Google Chrome isn't available in the Ubuntu repositories, but Chromium, its fully open-source counterpart, is. So you can try installing this, or browse to chrome.com to download chrome from Google. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1913176 Title: Firefox and Ubuntu Software Centre has bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1913176/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
