Unfortunately, people will do how they want and, if they know the inevitable conclusion/what's going on, will often times find "exactly what's needed" and so-on to move the plot to the next step. This doesn't necessarily mean anything bad for the players; they're just doing what feels right. Some of course also feel that the plot is ready to move on or whatever, and outside of saying "Hey I'd really like to RP this out," they won't really understand.
I don't think there's anything wrong with taking that approach. Communication is required to make any plot work, and I often ask my partner if she'd like to RP something out or handwave it and say that it happened. Sometimes we're in the mood to RP out a mundane conversation that brings unexpected results, and others we're just ready for the plot to move forward. As I said, I don't really see anything wrong with that particular route.
However, if you just want to try being more organic about it and it's a plot you yourself are running, I'd suggest only presenting as much evidence as is needed to move the plot along. Breadcrumbs, if you will. This will dynamically shift the group from finding (or OOC knowing) the whole truth and keep them looking for other pieces of the puzzle. If it's not a plot you're running, unfortunately there isn't much that can be done aside from still trying t present breadcrumbs and moving on.
I'm sure others may have more ideas/ways to subvert people suddenly moving to the end of the plot, but aside from one you're running, sadly I feel that it's in the hands of the person running it. And again, don't be afraid to communicate. It's one of the major keys of good plot development and roleplay. Even if you feel you're breaking character, it's arguably one of the necessities to getting your thoughts and ideas across.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
