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
- Have two monitor running.

Expected behavior
Quicksilver dialog should appear in either monitor and remain stable

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.
