I updated my Quicktime to 7.4.1 and now the player no longer starts playing the clip by pressing the Spacebar or Return. What’s up with that?
A process known as distributed computing helped map the human genome.

Now it's being used to find cures for cancer, ALS, alzheimer's and other diseases.

You can help by running a piece of software in the background. It's easy, free, and fun!

Download it from Apple's site and reinstall.

It does if the keyboard focus is wherever QuickTime Player expects it to be for that feature. So if you click into the movie directly or press tab the appropriate amount of times to move the keyboard focus around, it will work again.

It's kind of an annoying bug. I thought it's been there longer.

I bet you have that bug as well, but just not noticed, so a reinstall will do nothing.

I just noticed it. Hadn't even seen your reply. I was in QT, space bar was working fine, then I put it in full screen (spacebar working fine here too), then, when I exited full screen, QT stopped responding to the space bar.

Is this the same reason why clicking the timeline bar in QT sometimes jumps to the position, but stops playing and other times jumps to the position and continues playing? So annoying.

I don't know whether that's the same reason (doubt it actually), but that's another annoying bug of QuickTime Player, yes.

I have noticed this bug many a time and has caused my poor Mac to listen to a litany of curses as I have to use the mouse to pause a movie instead of being able to use the spacebar.

Grr
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.
