In the previous installer I was able to use space spar to select/deselect packages to install, On “Release: 2024.07.25” space bar does nothing.

I recreated this in a VM just now before posting this.

Interesting. We have not removed any features or functionality. Perhaps the upstream update to the installer or ISO broke something.

1. Could you verify that the spacebar works on a text editor?
2. Are you able to select or deselect a package using spacebar right after clicking on that package using a mouse?

odd, spacebar functionality has been solid.  
Just tried again with vm and spacebar is working as intended.
