Since the update to macOS 13.3.1 the space key doesn't work anymore. I'm using a Windows 11 and a Ubuntu 22.04 vm, the problem occurs in both of them. Nothing else has been changed.

Hello, As a possible solution, to send key presses directly to your virtual machine, kindly follow the below steps: 1. Shut down your Virtual Machine. 2. Open Parallels Desktop Preferences (Right-click Parallels Desktop icon (on your dock) > Preferences > Shortcuts). 3. Click on "macOS System Shortcuts" and select the drop-down to set "Send macOS System Shortcuts" to "Always" 4. Select Virtual Machine, open the Virtual Machine's Configuration ( https://kb.parallels.com/117287 ). 5. Click on the "Hardware" Tab and select "Mouse and Keyboard". 6. For the options "Keyboard" select "Optimize for games" from its drop-down options. 7. Turn on your virtual machine and verify if the keypress issue has been resolved. If the issue persists, please collect an additional technical report (click on Help > Send technical data > check "Attach screenshots..." > press Send Report) and send the report's 9-digit ID. Thank you.
Found a solution. In Settings -> Accessibilitx-> Keyboard -> Keyboard Control you need to switch it off. Now the space bar works again in Parallels virtual machines.
@MichaelB148 Thanks for the solution, but there needs to be a better fix. Disabling this setting means that some people with motor disabilities will not be able to use their computers. Parallels really needs to find a better solution.
i am still not getting any joy with this solution, i am writing this in chrome on my mac as i can't use space in my windows 11 virtual machine, this sucks. can't use copilot because it is giberish i am writing, parallel 10 didn't have this issue, get the regression fixed and give us a solution to space bar taking me into coherence mode instead of giving me a space
