I would refresh the preferences. That often clears up performance issues.

Try initiating playback using Play, the diamond icon, on the Playback Controls panel and not the spacebar+mouse method.

very good answer , i try what you said and it works , now i can play it through the mouse and spacebar again
thank you so much
edit , when i do that playing through the playback panel ; then i can play through the mouse and spacebar
but if i close the document , and restart finale , then i have to redo the same process to play tnrough the mouse and spacebar
not so boring but in the end it works
hope it will be solved in the future

That is odd. There is a playback setting to begin at the left-most measure on the screen when you press the play button. Not quite as good as spacebar, but perhaps you can get used to that. I think spacebar playback doesn't invoke Human Playback, no?

No, it doesn't. This problem with having to first start playback via the Playback Control before being able to use the spacebar+click from wherever only seemed to have started recently (for me, when I upgraded to Fin27). My previous version (2014.5) did not have that problem. But if you use space+click only to check notation (as I normally do) you don't really need HP anyway and besides, it'll be faster (I never use it - for a better controlled playback version you should use a DAW anyway)

If you are working in scroll view, you can set the playback control to “leftmost measure” which might make it easier.

Under the Edit tab there is a Reset Preferences button. Click it, close Finale and restart it. (On Windows anyway)
