I have CompizConfig installed on Ubuntu 14.04 with the Unity desktop. I wanted to configure a hot corner so that when my mouse hovered on the top right corner of my screen it would trigger what I normally see when I press Super + w.

To to this, in Compiz I went to

  • Window Management > Scale > Bindings

There, for Initiate Window Picker with the display icon, I selected the TopRight corner.

This setting works fine unless I'm connected to a second monitor.

Can this be resolved?

Update 1

I notice that if I'm connected to a second monitor via the laptop's Mini DisplayPort, the hot corner works. If I'm connected via the HDMI port, it does not.

Update 2

This is odd. The hot corner works if my built in display is set to the left, or below the second monitor.

If the built in display is set to the right of the second monitor the hot corner does not work.

You resolve this issue be making sure the hot corner is accessible by your mouse in the viewport.

via comment from Jacob Vlijm,

for Unity (Compiz), your screens together make one viewport/desktop. In your second setup, the right side of the left screen is just (a bit further than) half way of your desktop, as seen by Unity.
