Macbook logs out when moving cursor to hot corner

Hello,


My mid 2012 Macbook Pro keeps logging out when moving cursor to the bottom right hot corner (which I have set to the desktop).


I am running Mavericks 10.9.3. I've checked my settings but can't seem to find a solution. Please could you assist?


Many thanks.

Back up all data.

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist

Right-click or control-click the line and select

Services Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)

from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Log out or restart the computer and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved. If possible, restore it from a backup that predates the problem.

*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

Go Go to Folder...

from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
