Youtube Space Bar issue

When I am searching for videos on YouTube, I cannot use the space bar. For instance if I search "Charlie bit my finger" it would enter "Charliebitmyfinger" in the search bar because the space is not working. It will work to pause videos however. I also notice that sometimes when I type "k" it will also start and stop the video. I tried not allowing youtube.com permissions to override my keyboard, but that did nothing. I was still able to pause videos using space bar or 'k'. Any suggestions?

YouTube has fixed this issue and you should no longer experience it. You may have to reload and bypass the cache.
