Hot corners not working in macOS Sierra

I just upgraded today to macOS Sierra 10.12.1. I immediately noticed that my hot corner (System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Hot Corners > Start Screen Saver) is no longer working. It was working fine before I upgraded today. Anyone else seeing this? Anyone have a fix?

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

I am running macOS Sierra 10.12.6 and this method worked fast and simple for me! Changing your hot corner to "Disable Screen Saver" and then back to the original action seems to work:

Change the hot corner of "Start Screen Saver" to "Disable Screen Saver" and click [ OK ]
Then roll over the hot corner (of course nothing happens)
Click back into [Hot Corners...] options, change it back to "Start Screen Saver" and click [ OK ]
Screen Saver should activate as expected :-)
