I'm trying to do a pixel selection of a text layer by holding Ctrl and clicking the thumbnail in the layers panel, but it isn't working.

It worked perfectly fine before the latest update.

It was a simple Ctrl + Click > Select > Grow/Shrink to make an outline of a text layer. What happened?

Designer or Photo, Windows or Mac ?

In Photo it still works for me (Windows)  !! Although sometimes there's some delay...

I suspect this is designer and you are in draw persona, swap to pixel persona and you should be able to make a selection.

Alternately, you can add a stroke to text & set it to your choice of outside, inside, or center alignment. In Designer, this can be done in the Stroke panel. In either app it can be done in the "Decorations" section of the Character panel.
