We recently upgraded to MonoX v4.9.40.4845 [12/25/2013], DB v4.7.3842 and we have noticed that while typing in the "enter your post" text area in a forum topic the space bar (that separates words) doesn't work in any of the major browsers.

This is our site: http://social.clipflair.net/

Could you please help?

Thanks,
Panos

Sorry about this, we just found out that this is a conflict problem with this script for custom scrollbars
<script src="/MonoX/Scripts/jquery.nicescroll.min.js"></script>
<script src="/MonoX/Scripts/jquery.nicescroll.plus.js"></script>

//scrollbar
$("html").niceScroll({styler:"fb",cursorcolor:"#000",spacebarenabled:false});

(added spacebarenabled:false for now and we''ll see...)

</br>this seems to be the fix that works
</br>
</br>btw, NiceScroll jQuery plugin is very cool, especially for touch (http://areaaperta.com/nicescroll/)

can see it integrated in MonoX at http://social.clipflair.net (the two big arrow up/down indicators shown at our site are custom indicators that you can scroll up/down, not part of NiceScroll)

the skin and code from our site is opensource in case other MonoX users like it (implied one will remove our branding/logos and give some credit somewhere ;-) - http://clipflair.codeplex.com (can get the social stuff at /Server/ClipFlair.Social subfolder of the source)

So this issue is related to your custom "nice" scroll bar implementation and not MonoX core functionality ? Please confirm this so we can close this issue or continue investigating.

Thanks

it was related to NiceScroll.js (http://areaaperta.com/nicescroll/) indeed and needed an init param at the master page to tell it to not use space key for scrolling up/down since it interfered with the rich text editor
