Hi,

When this type of problem occurs after the surface was primed and
painted:

and the problem is addressed by adding compound, repriming and
repainting - is the problem fixed permanently or is it likely to
reoccur?

Thanks!

It appears that the corner was taped, but wasn't finished as well as
you'd like it to be. If that's the case, you can use a 5" joint knife
(putty knife) to apply joint compound. Do one side and let it dry before
doing the other. Without seeing what else is on the wall, my guess is
that the taper assumed that there would be a cabinet in that corner
covering up the angle.

If the tape is bubbled (not adhered) you'll need to remove it and
retape. Don't use fiberglass mesh tape. Paper tape is stronger and much
easier to use in this case.
