I get different behavior. I am using JavaFX 8 (1.8u25) with
openjfx-dialogs-1.0.2 which is part of controlsfx-8.20.8. Here is my show
code:
OptionsDlg dlg = new OptionsDlg(); // where OptionsDlg extends
Dialog<T>
dlg.initOwner(mainWnd.getScene().getWindow());
dlg.showAndWait();
When I set the initOwner() as shown, if the main app is in my primary
display, the dlg seems to be centered on the stage, which I am happy with.
However, if I move my main app into my secondary display, the dlg pops up
in the center of the main display. This seems like a bug.
If I comment out the line that sets initOwner(), the dlg always seems to
pop up in the center of the main display, regardless of where the main app
is.
