P: Photoshop 25.6 Magic wand tool doesn't work in indexed color mode

Photoshop 25.6.0

Mac OS Sonoma 14.4.1

While working in indexed color mode, I'm no longer able to select a specific area (contiguous) or the entirety of a particular color. Instead, the whole document is selected. This is a huge problem for the type of work I do and switching to RGB just to make the magic wand tool function properly isn't usually a good option. Any plans for a fix? I was told to try to revert to Photoshop 25.5.1 but that isn't showing as an option on CC.

Photoshop won't contiguous paint bucket in Indexed mode. It just paints the whole thing.

Magic wand is selecting all colors in PSD. I have colors indexed down to 2 colors, have adjusted tolerance from 1, increasing the number to no avail. Have toggled alias/contiguous on/off as well to try a combo of options, each not helping me resolve. This seems to happen occasionally. I'd updated my PSD to latest version and worked normally for a moment before it started selecting all colors in my file rather than the one I intend to select. If anyone can help, thanks.
