i recently replaced a secondary display..

for as long as i can remember, my hot corners were only within the main display..

for example: top-left is Expose.. top-right is Sleep..
----

upon replacing the display (which sits to the left of the main display), the left side corners now have to be activated all the way across the other display instead of being the corners on the main display.

as in, i'm getting this:

..and wanting this:

so i figured out if you set the displays so they don't sit in alignment:

...for the main screen(on the right), it will now catch that top-left corner.. the bottom left still needs to go across the other display..


i see what's going on now but i'm not quite sure it's how the OS should be.

the reason this wasn't happening to me before is because my replaced display was smaller than the new one (and smaller than the main screen)..
so it was centered top-to-bottom and the main screen's corners extended further up&down.. so the corners caught on the larger display.

------
if anybody knows a way around this and can make it work as i showed in the original post, let me know..
otherwise, i'll put in a request for a change of some sorts.
