Hello Maurice, I know what spring you are talking about. Wouldn't it feel odd when pressing the spacebar, as though it is sticking or something? I will have someone see how it looks when she is pressing the spacebar.

I will refer to this as the "U Bar". I would suspect that this bar is not correctly located and if your student hits the Space bar cap at either end, rather than the centre portion, it is not registering as a key press. You may need someone with some sight to take a look at the key when it is pressed first at the left most end and then at the right most end. It the U Bar is correctly in place the key cap will depress in a parallel manner. If the U Bar is misplaced the cap will go down at the end it is being pressed and "pop-up" at the other end.

Power running Keysoft 7.5 Build 29 and she has mentioned that her spacebar physically operates okay, but it does not always place a space when she presses the spacebar in a document. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I did suggest that maybe, unknowingly, she was pressing one of the function keys as she was pressing the spacebar. She would not hear the bong since she types her notes with the speech turned off. Anyone's assistance would be greatly appreciated to solve this mystery.
