Skipping keystrokes from keyboard

[alloversolutions]

I am using Autocad LT Mac 2014 and quite often it misses keystrokes.  It's like Autocad is not keeping up with typing.  Is there a fix for this?  It does not do it in other software, just AutoCAD.

EXAMPLE:

typed here:

   "I wanted to see if it would skip letters"

then in autocad:

   "I wanted to ee f it would skip etters"

Newer seen such behavior on my System.
Do you have any additional information?

we recently updated and upgraded to macs here at the office. 2 iMacs and 2 Macbook pros.  All of which do this same thing. Seems to happen after hitting space bar.  It is not doing it in any other software on the machines just AutoCAD LT for mac.  I don't really know how to give more detail. I also attached a video.

If you type slower: do you see the same behavior?
Do you have some of accessibility options enabled on your Macs?

have not changed anything in accessibility settings out of box.

When typing slow it does get everything.  Nobody wants to slow their typing down, though! haha.  It is annoying.

Do you have any shortcut on your Macs which uses spacebar as one of the keys? For example I have Spacebar+Command shortcut to switch between two languages.

no

The last chance - try to disable "Enable spacebar hold to pan" in AutoCAD preferences.

that fixed it.  Weird.  Thanks so much for your help!

Just wanted to say that AutoCad Mac LT 2013 was doing the same to me and driving me crazy and this seems to solve it.

Thank you! very strange.
