Summary: unintentional triggering of hot corners

SUMMARY
I fight against unintentionally activating the hot corners already some years
now. I move the mouse into the area (corner/side) and out of nowhere the effect
activates, ignoring the set timeout.
I now finally found two issues but I'm not sure if that's all. Because I had
activations where I never touched the corner before and from observation didn't
even push into the border, just scraped the highlight (glow) activation area.
The 2 issues:
1) The four sides (not the corners) can be activated without the visual hint
(glow) showing up.
2) Moving in and out the sensitive area several times activates the effect
although none of the individual "pushes" is long enough to activate the effect.
I recorded a video:

You see:
[0) activation timeout is set to 500ms already - way longer than the default
150ms]
1) Pushing in the top right outside the glowy area (above the clock) to
activate krunner
2) intentional activation of krunner (top edge)
3) poking quickly into the top edge to activate krunner
4) left edge: intentional activation of kactivities
5) unintentional activations - you see how far out I can go and how long I can
stay outside.
So what should be changed:
1) highlight effect should be synchronized with actual activation zone.
2) The timer should stop _immediately_ after the user is out further that the
last line of pixels at the edge and not accumulate the time spent pushing
behind the last line of pixels.
