Auto Advance, talking to NPCs?

These are NOT cutscenes, but dialogs you have with various NPCs. Somehow I had it set pre 6.3 where their parts of the dialog automatically advanced without the need for a manual click. THAT seems broken now (back to having to manually click), so I poured through all the settings and can 't find any toggle to go back to pre 6.3. Tried some googling but I got hundreds of lin ks ALL dealing with cutscenes (I know how to toggle there).

What am I missing?

Does Spacebar not help? You can change auto advance and speed settings.

Spacebar is ONLY for cut scenes, not having an NPC talk to you that is not a cutscene. I could be wrong but I thin I remember it auto advancing in this mode as well as in cutscenes.
