Opt + Click not working to select source for Clone tool

Question

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but i just noticed that I can no longer OPT + Click in order to select a source when using the clone stamp tool. I tried closing photoshop and re-opening, but when i try to select a source for the Clone Stamp tool, nothing happens and i get the error message below. I am most definitely trying to option click on my mac - but nothing is happening. My option button seems to be working otherwise.

I'm running PS 2024 25.1.0 release on a Mac running OS 13.6.1

Will need to downgrade Photoshop until this is resoved.

Could you please post screenshots taken at View > 100% with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible?

What have you done for all-purpose trouble-shooting so far?
Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:
