Spacebar key closes Storyline 360
Jul 01, 2021
Possible bug here.
As the title suggest, when I press the space key repeatedly (say, once every second) the whole Storyline project closes. I found this out when I was moving items to their exact moment on the timeline, so I had to pause/play repeteadly, and I was using the spacebar key for that.
So, if the project has unsaved changes, pressing the spacebar repeteadly opens the are you sure you want to exit pop-up. And, if all changes have been saved it direclty closes Storyline. This happens both if I have my timeline is docked and if it is on a different window.
At first I thought it was a crashing bug, but my guess now would be that the key shortcut bindings are wrong and the spacebar somehow activates both the play/pause and the exit functions.
I'm working with v3.53.25436.0.

Hi, Alex.
Thank you for reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing!
We have a bug reported where Storyline closes without error report after holding down the space bar while clicking several times on the gray area around the slide on slide view.
I've connected this discussion to the bug report, and I'll be sure to come back to update you when I have some news.
Thank you, Maria. Please, keep me posted!
So, you have had this bug for 22 days and still have not fixed it? I am experiencing this bug as I play and pause to synch images on the timeline and it has tried to close repeatedly for me. Super frustrating. Please fix as soon as possible.
They addressed this issue with the last update. Better late than never.
Thank you so much for the quick fix for this problem! Really going to make my life easier.
Take care
Rick
