Hot Corner Not Working Properly?

[djlythium]

Context: M1 13" MBP + Big Sur (latest version):

So, I have the lower-right corner set to put the screen to sleep. BUT, whenever I move the mouse to that corner, the screen shuts off, then immediately turns back on, and logs in because I have it set to unlock with the Watch.

Never did this before on my prior MBP with Big Sur.

Ideas welcomed!

Same. Not locking. If I move the pointer in the slightest it comes back on.

EDIT: I had lock set to after 5 min. Mine locks correctly now.

Hmm. Interesting! I’ve noticed that this machine is so stupid fast & responsive that activating hot corners no longer has any lag. Wonder if that has anything to do with it.
