Canon 550D Autofocus Won't Work in Manual Modes

I have had a Canon 550D/T2i for a bit over a month now and just recently I've had issues with the autofocus. In the manual modes (P, Tv, Av, M and A-DEP) I cannot get autofocus to work. The autofocus works perfectly as usual in all of the other modes including the video mode. I have tried my lens on another camera (Canon 30D) and the autofocus worked fine and I've used another lens on my camera where I experienced the same issue. I have made sure that the focus on the lens was set to AF and I have tried turning the camera on and off again, taking out the battery and putting it back in again, taking out the memory card and using no memory card. I have Magic Lantern installed. I haven't tried restoring the firmware yet because I wan't to leave it as a last resort.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

(The lens I'm using is a Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 with IS)
