Scott,
When you say it works for you, which java are you running?
- Java 8 (1.8u25) with openjfx-dialogs-1.0.2 like Pete
- Java 8 update 40 pre-release
- something else?
Using the released 8u25 with openjfx-dialogs-1.0.2 I, too, have seen the
dialog pop on the wrong display.

Ah, I the controlsFX code must be doing something to position the dialog.
Perhaps you can step into the code and see what it is doing.
The behaviour without a owner appears to be the standard behaviour -
centre on the screen.

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
DialogT
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.

I was just addressing a bug in my application related to this. The
behaviour you describe happens only in Java FX 2.x. In JavaFX 8 the
dialog still appears in the centre of the display, but it chooses the
correct display based on where the parent window is.
I ended up adding a bit of code to reposition the dialog manually, but
it was a little tricky to avoid having the dialog flash at the original
position first. I had to set the opacity to 0, reposition it, and then
wait a bit before setting the opacity to 1. Even that was done in a couple
stages with runLater.

Just getting started using the new openjfx-dialogs. One thing that
annoys
me is the default initial positioning of a popup dialog. The default
seems
to pop up in the center of the primary display screen. This is
particularly
annoying when the app is running in my secondary display. Where's the
popup?
Is there an option to have it centered on the stage, or a way to
manually
control the initial position? I tried to handle onShowing() but at
this
point X, Y, width and height are NaN.
Thanks.
