Server problem.

If you are walking and jumping, and then presses TAB, nothing happens. Same if you are walking and pressing TAB, and then presses Space.

My bad for requesting a review, the issue I'm encountering is actually key jamming, a hardware issue. This issue is generally not present on modern keyboards, and in fact my MacBook Pro's internal keyboard does not have it, but my external keyboard is an Apple Wireless Keyboard from 2007 which does experience key jamming. Since I first noticed this issue at the same time I switched my gaming from Windows to Mac, I assumed it must be a Mac-specific Minecraft bug, forgetting that I had switched keyboards as well as computers (my previous keyboard, the slightly newer Apple Keyboard (Aluminum), does not experience key jamming to the same degree, but for some reason it does not work with my new Mac so I had to find a different one).

Is this still an issue? Holding space while pressing tab brings up the scoreboard as expected on my M1 mac.

Wrong project. Please report LWJGL issues to https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl/issues since Mojang can't do anything about those.

This works on windows, and not mac.
It is still a bug. You might want to consider re-opening this.

Tab key does not work properly in Minecraft on Mac. This has been confirmed as an LWJGL issue.

Cannot confirm for Windows 7-64bit.
Pressing all three keys together works fine, so I can see the player list while jump-running.

Is the keyboard of a Mac capable of recording three keys (or that three keys) at a time ?
Depending on the keyboard matrix sometimes not every combination of multiple keys at a time are possible.

But if I see bugs like MC-630 I assume that this a Mac OS only issue.
