Peter and Ken,
I noticed that in Windows, release 2.4.13 the spacebar does
automatically advance the selection as you described, and release 2.6.4
October 22 Windows build it does not advance, as you also describe. 
Release 2.6.3 spacebar does not advance the selection in Ubuntu 12.04
either.  I think that could be called an inadvertent regression. The
Tutorial description of Entry Shortcuts describes using the spacebar in
the reconcile window, but it does not say whether the selection advances
automatically in either the 2.4 Guide or the 2.6 guide.   I would
consider filing a bug report, and I would like to have a preference
setting so that either action could be chosen.
