This has only happened to me today but when every i have quoted anyone today, I am unable make a space unless theres a character before the cursor.
Spacebar works fine any other time, it's just when i have a quote in the box.
Looking into this, might be a Chrome 54+ issue.
If you check your Chrome console, is there anything like "Request was blocked" (not "net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT")? If so, what script is it blocking?

I am looking into this issue since the company that makes vBulletin has indicated they most likely will not fix it.
As a work around go into your settings and change "Message Editor Interface" to "Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls". Then when replying the interface can be changed back to WYSIWYG without the issue present.
Chaud had me test that yesterday and it occurred in all three editors, so I don't think it's an editor issue.
You can type a " " (space) at the beginning of your post, but that is the only time it'll allow it and only once.
Even tried the character code for a space. It's a hit and miss issue in Firefox and Edge as well.
Did it on several different machines (even one freshly formatted with nothing installed) and I tried a couple different internet connections as Chaud thought slow connections might be causing it.
The workaround I've been using is typing it up in Notepad and then copy/pasting.
Only occurs when using "Reply With Quote", even if you tell it to open in a new tab or window. New Post or Quick Reply both work fine.

Update: Found something else out on the spacebar (if it helps any). If you copy/paste anything into the "Reply With Quote" box, even 1 character, then you can use the spacebar again. -- I notified Chaud as well, but since you are looking into it as well @Alexia, I wanted to post it here too in case you didn't see it.
I have been digging into vBulletin for about two hours now and I still do not see a way to fix this. The vBulletin Solutions company will have to fix this issue or hopefully a vBulletin community member will come up with a fix. Until then I would advise switching to the standard editor in your account settings or switching to Firefox which does not exhibit this issue.
The issue still persists in all three editors in Chrome.
The only workarounds I've found so far is possibly Firefox / Edge (even then it still can occur). Also, if you type a word in the editor and select it and hit Cut (or Copy) and paste then it allows the spacebar to work once again properly. Other than that, type it up in notepad and paste.
