Safari 14.0.1 File Selection button not working

I have a standard web form which has a file selector form field. This has worked for well over 10 years as it's the standard UI presented by Safari. Just noticed today after Safari upgraded to 14.0.1 (on the latest Mojave) that the button is dead: clicking does nothing. This same form continues to work in Chrome. Anyone else see this and have a workaround?

Mac mini 2018 or later

Safari 14.0.3 which fixes this issue, is now available via the Software Update System Preferences pane.

I am having the same issue. The main effect it is having is that I am a professor and it makes the course management software for my university (Blackboard) unusable with Safari. I now have to remember to use Firefox to sign in so that I can upload files to the CMS. The file chooser button just does nothing on Safari. I had been assuming this was just a problem with Blackboard as it is generally a clunky such-and-such, but just now I discovered that the same problem is happening to me on another site (the Dreamwidth journaling platform), so that is when I realized it is a more widespread Safari problem.
