 I believe this has happened since the latest update to the
 TwentyTwentyFive theme.

 Prior to this update, I had one page which was set to the page template
 'Elementor Canvas' (being used with the Elementor plugin to handle the
 entire design of the page).

 I updated the TwentyTwentyFive theme, and since then the page template has
 reverted to 'Default'.

 What's more, when going to the page editor, the 'Template' option in the
 right sidebar has changed, and no longer shows the dropdown list of page
 templates, but instead shows a new list - of which all options do NOT show
 the available page templates.

 The only way to put the page template back, was to go back to the editor
 list, and 'Quick Edit' the page, where I could then see the normal page
 template dropdown.

 My concern is that this instantly broke / changed the design on the
 website, from just updating the theme I Was using, which shouldn't have
 happened.
