Screensaver changing itself after downloading Sonoma

Since I downloaded Sonoma I have the following issue. If   I select one of my own pictures as wallpaper and one of the new Sonoma screensavers ie Sonoma Horizon, after a while it will default to the stock Sonoma Screensaver or change the wall paper to Sonoma Horizon as well. As soon as I use Apple Wallpaper as well as one of their screensavers, this issue disappears. It's not affecting the iMac in any other way it's just annoying. Has anyone else had this issue or can throw any light on what may be causing this.

A similar situation occours in my M1 Pro MacBook. Slow motion screensavers are automatically disabled and replaced with the screen sever of Ventura. In System Setting, the item "Show as screen savers", which had been previously enabled, is now disabled. Overwriting Sonoma failed to resolve the problem. No problems instead with traditional screen savers and wallpapers.
