Sketchup displays the attached 'skp.info dialog box (on geolocation) each time I hit the ‘spacebar’ on my Mac to get to the select tool. I am completely ‘dead in the water’ and unable to use sketchup on my current project. I had worked about 8 hours with no problem and think the bug may have occurred when I downloaded an object from the ‘Warehouse’. I have now deleted that object but the problem remains and I am unable to work. I hope someone can help with this and thank you in advance. Sketchup 17.3 is what I was working with and have imported file to newer versions but have the same problem.

See this: > [@Geo locate opens when I press space bar](https://forums.sketchup.com/t/geo-locate-opens-when-i-press-space-bar/6400/3): > > Look for the little blue halo on the Geo icon in the lower right. If this really bugs you, you can hit tab 4 times when you open SketchUp, and then the little blue Mac halo will be over the select tool. Space bar selects whatever the little blue halo is on. It’s a Universal Access thing. Not a bug with SketchUp. ---

Thank you Dave. I’ll give that a try if I can find a way to see a geo icon (whatever it is) on the lower right. Isn’t the lower right where the measurement display/ input box is? I’ve always thought a bug was something that the application did on its own which then tanked the functionality of the app. That is what happened. Thank you Gary ---

The thing described in that thread has to do with an operating system setting or more properly the OS’s Universal Access thing. I suppose you could call it a bug with the operating system. ---
