Patient: "doc, it hurts when I do this"
Doctor: "stop doing that"
Holding the space bar down for 5 seconds is going to engage auto-repeat, meaning you're effectively sending a stream of discrete spacebar keypresses, and telling SONAR to stop/start/stop/start in rapid succession. Getting strange results while doing something like that does not surprise me at all.
Of course, the Sonitus Delay is not the most reliable plugin in the suite. It does some weird things. I love it and use it a lot, but it does do some weird things. Like disabling automation for other plugins that follow it. Like making loud clicks on every tempo change when tempo-synced. Like playing its buffered echoes from a previous playback at the start of the song. A potentially great plugin, but it's sick and needs a get-well plan.
EDIT:
I see that you solved the problem while I was typing my reply. Never mind my "don't do that" advice.
Interestingly, my Sonitus Delay is
newer than the one you were having trouble with: 3.3.3.372.
