    Hot Corners Not Working On 2018 MacBook Pro (15')

    I've recently purchased a 2018 MacBook Pro (15") and have noticed that every now and then (not all the time) the hot corners to make the display sleep or trigger the screen saver, don't function. The strange part is that I have the launchpad mapped to another corner and I can trigger the...
