While working fine in a single-display setup, the launchy window fails to display when I activate a second display (e.g., external monitor on my notebook). Launchy still *works* fine, though -- typing blindly, I can still launch programs. I'm using Launchy 2.0 beta 1.

I also ran into this issue. The Launchy window is outside the screen because coordinations in Launchy.ini are relative values, when you attach 2nd monitor, the total width and height are changed and the new relative position may be outside the screen.

Hi. I'm using v2.0 and I'm using two monitors too. I've set to "Always center Launchy".
The primary monitor is on the right side, the secondary (my laptop) is on the left side. When opening Launchy it appears on the right side of the right monitor. It would be clear to me if it appears on the left side of the right monitor (middle of both screens so to say) but on this side...?

Running 2.0 with dual monitors ("Extend my Windows desktop to this monitor") - the primary one on my laptop running 1680 by 1050 pixels, the secondary LCD running 1280 by 1024 pixels, extending the primary monitor to the right - I get the launchy window on the right hand side of the primary monitor, centered at 1480 (50% of the total width of 2960).
It seems to me that the launchy window should appear either in the middle of the primary monitor, or, alternatively and probably more fiddly, in the middle of the "current monitor" (say, the one with the focused window, or the one where the mouse pointer is located). The previous version worked "properly" with dual monitors.

Sorry about the double post. Note that this is with "Always center Launchy" on. Also, this seems to be a duplicate of issue 1764867 from July this year. I find that strange, as I first saw this behavior in Launchy 2.0.
