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.

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.

However, if I move my main app into my secondary display, the dlg pops up in the center of the main display.

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.
