Virtual desktop switcher hot corner bug?

This thing:

Activating when hitting the top left screen corner of one of my Monitors drives me Nuts recently.
Because in my Multi-Monitor layout one of the edges that activates this is nearly the center of my canvas.
In the “Screen Edges” settings “Switch desktop on Edge” is set to “Disabled”

Is this a (known) bug or have I just not found the correct setting to disable that?

Okay I found it.
Had to click on that top left corner in the picture at the settings dialog and change it there from “Overview” to “No Action”


The only strange thing that is left is the question why my mousepointer suddenly started to get caught in that corner more often than in the past.

Thank you for this. I didn’t realize I could click on the picture. I wasn’t experiencing any bugs, but I don’t personally care for the hot corner feature.

I realized it “3 Hours later” (imagine spongebob voice-over) :sweat_smile:.

Have done some testing, even with “Corner barrier” unchecked and “Activation delay” set to huge 1000 ms the overview activates immediately when moving fast along over that corner.
Shouldn’t I have, in this case, 1 full second to cross past that corner without it activating?
Not only that after even after deactivating that corner and “Corner barrier” still unchecked i can clearly see the mouse pointer getting stuck at that corner for at least a few milliseconds when moving from right to left on that top border.

Just as a reminder: directly left of that left-top corner is my other higher monitor in a continuous workspace.


Maybe I interpreted that settings and what they do completely wrong or there has to be some kind of a bug.
