Image Selection Problem While Deleting Images in Filmstrip View

As part of my workflow, I have always duplicated a folder into a "proofing" folder, then viewed the images one by one using Filmstrip View in Bridge and made a decision to delete or keep each image.  If I delete the image, I simply click the "delete" button on the Mac and proceed to the next image.  Simple, right?  Until now.

What Bridge USED TO DO is select the image after the one I just deleted, making it show up in the preview pane, so that I can make the next decision to keep or delete, and so on.

What Bridge DOES NOW is deselect the images entirely, resulting in NO image in the preview pane and no image selected in the filmstrip. This requires users to figure out where they were in the editing process (on the small filmstrip, mind you, with potentially hundreds of similar images).  This is RIDICULOUS.  I spent an hour on chat with an Adobe rep and they tried to figure it out and then just said I would just have to keep track of which image was next to be edited.

So, I hope that the smart folks in this forum have a solution for me.  I've looked through Preferences and can't find anything obvious.  Thank you!!
