using AlwaysCopyInBackground = 2 causes the copy/overwrite dialog to jump to different positions each time it appers to make a selection. Very annoying .....

Thanks for that statement. Is that okay for you ?
It´s a BACKground transfermanager after all and I usually don´t see this window in front of the others - so I don´t rally care about this position. Putting the btm to the middle of the screen causes the overwrite dialog to appear too far at the bottom of the screen.
In addition the btm doesn´t keep his position permanently. This behaviour always suprise me during file operations with unexpected window positions. It not that intuitive like before.

Hmm, you´re right on that fact but please remember that 90% of the TC users don´t have dual screens. So it´ll be great if you can make it configurable later when other priorities are worn out.

By the way, we are not talking here about the Background Transfer Manager but
of the regular coping window when AlwaysCopyInBackground=2, i.e. the "striped
down" copy window that goes on the background.
I don't really see a reason why an overlapping can be problematic since the
overwrite dialog has all (and more) information of the situation.
The only problem I see is if multiple background jobs detect multiple overwrites.
Placing both overwrite dialogs in the center will hide one. Then again TC waits
for a response by the user so by replying on one overwrite dialog you can get
the other one. In addition (haven't checked if this is already possible), each
background action should be bound to its corresponding overwrite dialog via the
task bar. So, if we have for example two concurrent overwrites by clicking the
background dialog from the task bar we'll get its corresponding overwrite
confirmation dialog displayed as well.
