Anki 23.12 Beta

Not sure if I’m doing something wrong, but I can’t get the new auto advance feature to work.

Using these settings and activating the More > Autoadvance option:

I’d expect Anki:
A) to automatically show the answer after 6 seconds, then,
B) to show answer during 3 seconds, then,
C) to automatically press “Again” for me, then.,
D) to show the next question and automatically show the answer after 6 seconds.

A works as expected, B and C do not, the answer remains on the screen until one of the answer buttons is clicked. D does not work either, after manually clicking on any answer button, the More > Autoadvance option gets deactivated and no answer is automatically shown.

On the other hand, I think the autoadvance option would make more sense as a general option under Preferences > Review. Personally I find having to configure that option in the deck options, and activating it in the “More” menu a bit confusing and counterintuitive.
