macOS 12.1 desktop background and screensaver

I've been waiting for the Monterrey fix for the photos screensaver issue, so was excited to see 12.1 available with said fix.

Very disappointed now though, as it's worse than it was before. Not only does the screensaver not show photos, changing of the desktop background has the same problem as well. The photo thumbnails do not appear on either background of screensaver settings panels, well most of the time. I did see the thumbnails twice.

Anyone else seeing this?

Mac mini 2018 or later

Yeah, thanks, but not a fan of what I read about that utility. Probably innocuous, but I'll pass.

Strangely enough, desktop wallpaper and screensaver work as advertised - just the Settings UI seems to be a mess.

Thanks again!
