P: Photoshop 22.5 - Add to Selection not working in Action

I have an action which starts by using the magic wand to create a selection. I've used it for a few years over multiple versions of Photoshop on Windows.

 

Its now just not working at all, either running the action or double-clicking that step. If I delete the step and manually record the Magic Wand clicking the canvas, the step is added to the action and the selection works as expected.

Do you mean it only doesn't work when contiguous box is filled while running script or manually as well?

found a (stupid) workaround: 'set selction' with wand doesn't work, but 'add to selection' does. so, i recorded the first step of the action to create a 1px x 1px square in the upper left corner, followed by magic wand step.

@Create360 make sure you're on 22.5.1 which just came a day or so ago.

Good workaround. If I knew I can use it I would have been doing it the same for whole month too 😉
