MP 7,1 Moving cursor to lower right logs me out?

[choreo]

I am setting up my new Mac Pro an I notice that when I move the cursor to the lower right corner of the screen it logs me out and presents the Login Screen to log back in? Hot Corners is set lower right to Screen Saver. Sometimes the screen saver shows up behind the login screen - usually not, but it logs me out 100% of the time.

Any ideas?

Sounds like the screen is locked, not logged out - do all the apps you have open at this point quit, and then have to re-launch upon entering your password?

What you want to check is the setting for requiring a password x amount of time after sleep or screensaver begins.

No, all apps stay open.

If I disable lower right Hot Corner completely, it does not log me out?

Yes ~ that is the question.

You nailed it! I had System Preferences, Security & Privacy, General set wrong. I was set to "immediately" lock me out. Apparently it did not pull the setting in from my old Mac. All is working fine now! Thanks!
