If Designer is on a secondary monitor in Windows, and Show Abstract Designer is clicked, instead of coming up in the middle of that monitor or the middle of the main monitor, it comes up split across the two monitors.

It doesn't on my dual monitor Vista system. If the IDE is on my second screen the Designer and Abstract Designer appear on the main screen the first time after starting the IDE. Afterwards they both appear on the screen and at the position they last occupied when closed.

I'm running Win7, and I have it set up the opposite: IDE on main and Designer on secondary.

I'm going to hijack my own thread to mention a minor suggestion for Designer:

When selecting multiple views in Abstract Designer, the Properties List will show Multiple Views Selected along with the properties Event Name, Parent, Left, Top, Width, Height so that you can change one or more of the properties to be the same for all selected views, which is great. However, the last four of these are set to "0", which forces you to blank out the "0"s for any of these you don't want to set the same.

It would simplify things if the properties were left blank instead of set to "0".

I have XP and the abstract designer comes up on the first monitor when designer is on second monitor when selecting 'show' the first time. If I move the abstract to my second monitor then exit/show it comes up on my second monitor which is a correct behavior.
