Yes, definitely the My Projects dialog and every one during the compare process. Even if you drag one of them back to the left monitor, the next dialog pops up back on the center one - every time. It doesn't even remember it for a single session. Thanks!
Would you mind confirming exactly what version of SQL Compare you are seeing this issue in?
Also, if you are not already on the very latest version (v.14.6.4), would you mind installing this version to see if you continue to experiencing this?
As I mentioned above, it started in 14.5 and affected all updates that I tried. I was on 14.5.22.19589 today because it was telling me there were no more updates. Downloaded 14.6.4 from your link and the problem still exists. I drag the dialog back to the left monitor and then the very next dialog still opens on center. Closing all windows on the left monitor does not fix it. The main re-opens on left but all dialogs still open on center.
Thanks for confirming on this, and for the further information.
We have been able to replicate it to a certain extent. When launching SQL Compare the dialog box initially opens in front of the main application window (as expected), however when following the below steps we do see the same issue you are reporting:
1. Open SQL Compare 2. Close new project dialog 3. Move the main SQL Compare window to other screen 4. Close SQL Compare on the other screen 5. Relaunch SQL Compare - the dialog is shown on the other screen to the main application window
I'm going to engage with our development team to get their input on this. I will come back to you as soon as possible.
Kind regards

Just to advise that work on a fix for this issue has now been completed and is ready to be shipped as part of our next release of SQL Compare (likely to be v.14.6.6). I expect this to be available for you to download from early next week, you should be prompted within SQL Compare to download it.
I hope this helps!
Kind regards

Sorry, the "Check for Updates" feature said I had the latest version so I was waiting. I downloaded from your and link and it is indeed fixed. Thanks very much from all of us multi-monitor users!

Are you not able to reproduce this?
