How do I fix MacBook Pro hot corner cursor jumping to top center?

On my mac when I use the hot corners (bottom left) to pull up mission control, the cursor used to stay in the left bottom corner, now it appears at the top centre. How do I get the cursor back to automatically being in the bottom left?
