How do I get back auto spacing in Swype?

Just randomly. Today. My auto spacing on the swype keyboard stopped working. Everywhere. SMS, browsers, email, EVERYWHERE. It does not auto space anymore. No matter what. I checked the settings and Auto-Space is still checked. Tried checking and unchecking and pulling battery and restarting phone. Auto spacing is just gone. Is there any way to get it back or do I need to get yet ANOTHER freaking keyboard.
 
I've been using Swype for years and I've never had that problem. (Jinx.) Obviously it's not working correctly. Some options to fix it...

1) If you had a backup (like a Titanium Backup) of the Swype app you could try restoring the Swype app and its data.

2) Otherwise, you could try going into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All-tab/Swype, and "Clear Data". Unfortunately, you'll have to go back into Swype and redo your settings, so you might want to make a note of your settings first.

3) Re-install Swype.

And it started working again today all on it's own. What the actual f*** is going on with this phone, lol
