TB 52.5.2 doesn't have "change delay for marking read" at tools->options->...Advanced, so posted solutions don't apply!

I used to get several seconds to glance at an incoming message before it was marked read. I want that back. Several posts say to go to Tools->Options->Display->Advanced, but there is no place there to set a delay in TB 52.5.2! How can I get that back?

Chosen solution

Here it is under the equivalent of

Tools|Options|Display|Advanced

My screenshot was made on a Linux system, where the entry route is Edit|Preferences rather than Tools|Options, but thereafter it is the same dialogue.

I invite you to post your own screenshot demonstrating how our setting dialogues differ.

I see what I did wrong: Tools|Options|Display|Advanced I got to, except that I used the wrong "Advanced". There was also a TAB marked Advanced and apparently I mistakenly used that. Thanks for making me try it again, this time I got it right!
