That's interesting because when I entered this: gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-hot-corners it said: false Which means I have disabled it, and the effect I saw must have been a bug. But it is hard to recreate. It happens from time to time though, I am using a trackball mouse so zooming to the top right can happen quite easily.
