Bug description

I upgraded to Sonoma and now have issues seeing the Quicksilver dialog boxes. I have dual monitors, and if I open quicksilver in my primary monitor, it jumps to the secondary monitor and then disappears. This behaviour did not occur with previous MacOS versions.

Quicksilver works if I unplug the second monitor.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Have two monitor running.
    2.Upgrade to Sonoma
Expected behavior

Quicksilver dialog should appear in either monitor and remain stable

MacOS Version

macOS 10.14

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with two monitors on Sonoma, using the report's steps and checking the Quicksilver dialog's monitor behavior. Trace the existing display and window-handling entry points, then verify that the dialog remains visible and stable on the selected monitor with and without a second display.
