Go into the menu and turn "Focus Search" ON. (I usually keep it OFF BTW).

I checked my 70D and it was enabled...but that led me to check the tracking sensitivity, which was set all the way to the left, "locked on." Set it to the middle between that and "responsive." And now it works!

Thanks nudging me in the right direction. Hopefully now others will benefit.

Thanks for the update.  Good to see how that works (or doesn't). I'll have to remember that one.

Happy shooting!
