So I started a new world in I believe the snapshot right before the 1.9 pre-release 1 and found a skeleton spawner without a roof in the desert. Now 1.9 pre-release 2, I started to mess with it and enclosed it (No light what so ever) but there aren't any skeletons spawning at all. I dug out a 9x9x6 room so they can spawn but nothing is happening..

I have the same issue with two mob spawners that were working prior to updating to 1.9-Release2. You can see the spawner light up with fire like it's about to spawn zombies, but it never does.

I'm having the issue too. I went to try to farm xp and waited 5 mins and not a single skeleton spawned. This is irritating since I just got my Elytra wings on Vanilla survival and I can't use them with out an unbreaking 3 enchant. I cannot farm xp from my skeleton spawner and I'm on normal difficulty. Mojang please fix this issue soon. :,( I'm on windows 10
EDIT: I am not on peaceful, so that is not the problem.
