Given it was refurbed, it was probably the space bar.  However, are you
running F26?  One of its new features is a key-repeat heuristic that kicks
in when the machine is put under load - just often enough to be confusing.

The thing I find annoying is that computer stores don't display/stock
minimal keyboards (i.e., no numeric key pad et.al), regardless of the
mechanics so I can't try what I might buy.  I ended up reviving my tiny
acer keyboard by washing it in the kitchen sink.
