I've been frustrated with this issue since day one with this aircraft; on the 777 whenever I am in motion (taxiing/takeoff/cruise/etc.) and I hit the space bar, my total speed completely dissapates and I can go from .80 mach to 0kts just like that! I have made the mistake several times of switching to an external view during takeoff/climb and tried to pan around the view using space bar, and sure enough as soon as I hit it my airspeed drops to 0, and I drop like a rock... FRUSTRATING! Please help, as I am planning to request 777 rating soon. Thank you!

Never heard of this, are you using the fleet T7? Maybe you should reinstall.

Check your settings next time you load up the 777. It may have assigned the space bar to a different function than what you're used to.
