Pressing the space bar turns to the next page. I have been using LingQ for many years and never had that issue. I am using the chrome web browser. Anyone else ran into that same issue?

No, when I use the space bar, the video attached to the lesson opens. [beta version]
Yes, I have this behaviour also. Before the space bar stopped the readout
Do you still have the issue, or did it get resolved?
Same issue. I press space bar and goes to next page instead of pausing the audio player. The controls on the player have always been difficult to control for me.
Can we have:
Space bar = pause audio
Arrow back = rewind
Arrow forward = forward wind
Enter = next page
Yes it has been resolved. Space bar now stops the audio player

It looks like there are still problems. Sometimes the space bar pause the video. Some times not, and instead shows next text page or the previous page. I’m not sure when this happen. If I have marked a word and the audio have stopped, it looks like the function is ok, and the space bar starts the audio. If audio is not stopped, and pressing space bar (sometimes) next text page is shown. But I’m not sure if this happens all the time
Same for me. The problem still exists. Pressing space bar moves the screen to the next page instead of pausing the audio.
It happens if the last button you clicked was the next page button. The button then remains active until you click somewhere else. If you don’t the spacebar now pushes the next page button.
So in order to avoid that behavior click somewhere else after you clicked next page.
I made a post in the support forum maybe it gets changed, because it was different in the past.

That’s right. If the last button you clicked was the audio player, then space bar pauses the audio which is what we want. But once you click into the text on the page, then when you click the space bar, it goes to next page.
Can you please sort this out so the space bar pauses the audio only (and does not move the screen to next page) no matter where you click on the page like it was before?
This is the bread and butter of using LingQ. It is really difficult to keep the text and audio aligned because after having clicked away from the audio player when you click space it takes you to the next page and then you have to line it all up again again and again. This is one of the things where I would consider cancelling LingQ and finding a platform that works better.
Thanks.
