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 looks to me like the tape is loose/bubbled. If that is the case,
you must cut the loose tape away and re bed a new layer of tape.

It looks as though the tape was not installed properly. You need to remove
it and retape. Try using the mesh this time.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at in the picture. I don't understand
how someone got texture on the wall without getting it on the corner
tape. If the tape went on after, as in a repair, how did they keep
the compound from obscuring the texture adjacent to the tape?

It does look like the tape bubbled, then it's as Marson said, but it
is possible that they didn't smooth out the compound under the tape so
there's a solid bond but just more compound than needed to attach the
tape. In that case you'd just have to add more compound.

See if the tape is loose or if there is space behind - pop a bubble
if you can. That will tell you what you need to do.

It appears the texture was rolled rather than sprayed and the painter
stayed away from the corner. Look down by the outlet box and pipe.
