Try using Enter instead of the Space Bar despite what the screen prompt may say. Would also advise to remove the Docking Fees OXZ and see if that helps with the Space Bar not working. Very Nice messages in the Docking Fees OXZ but it is also costing you extra credits that a Commander who is just starting his journey can ill afford to spend.

In case anyone is wondering, the squares inside the atmosphere are due to incorrect nebula image format used by a sky-altering OXP. Nebula images are expected to be grayscale 8 bits per pixel, but they are probably RGB 24 bits per pixel in whatever OXP it is that is causing this. The issue is visible only inside atmospheres; in space everything looks normal.

Just be aware of this.

Probably completely unrelated, but I ran into a problem where I was instructed to "Press Spacebar to continue, Commander", to no effect. The context was trying to read my emails (F4, second screen R) and I'd get both the "next page / next message/ previous message" blurb offset from it's normal bottom of the screen position, AND the "Press spacebar" instruction. None of which work. Though another F4, or other F-key takes me to the expected screen and gets me out of there.
I just had a "night of the long OXP-knives" to throw away whatever I'd recently added (using year-old notes) and see if that resolved the problem. OXP management is probably better than doing it manually, but without any way to search for OXPs in the 40-odd screens, it's still sadly lacking.
