In multi-monitor, every time I run my mouse between screens, if I’m too high or low, it catches on the hot corner areas. I could see it being wanted if I were dragging a window so I could use them to snap to, but every other time it’s just a pain in the ass, especially since I turn off all the hot corner functions anyway.

    seems to be the default behavior on my machine (or I changed it and forgot about it)

    I am attaching a screenshot of my settings; the hot corner only seems to get activated at the top left of my leftmost screen, not on the others.

      If you put your mouse tight to the edge and drag less than quickly, does it still snag? I found unless I deactivated the corner check box as well, it did.

        Are you talking about hot corners (activating a feature when moving one’s mouse to the screen) or about window snapping (dragging a window to the corner)? Window snapping still works on all monitors with these settings.

          Just the ones between monitors. If you drag from an inside monitor to the next, if you’re tight or close to tight to the upper or lower edge, I find that it “snags”. I found out I have to disable both Corner Barrier and set Edge Barrier to 0 in order to get it to stop that, just doing one or the other didn’t help. You have your Edge Barrier set to None but Corner still on, and if I do that it still snags.

      So I got messing around in there, and I found that if I set Corner Barrier to False, and Edge Barrier to 0 pixels, it seems to have taken it away, but just doing either of them by themselves did nothing, which is what I had tried. It does make it hard to snap a window to that quadrant or halfscreen, but I do that much less often than run my mouse across the screen hard up to the bottom or top edge, which was what was catching it.

      I’m not even quite sure what either of those are, or if they’re supposed to be independent, but they don’t act that way. Hot corners in the far left and right of the monitor group still works, which is fine, even though I personally turn them off.
