How is the window hidden? Is it clearly inside the frame of the main
window, or could it be just partially outside the screen?

These days Ion automatically detaches (or "unsqueezes") big transients
that don't properly fit in the frame, and they don't follow their main
windows around. You can disable this behaviour with

    ioncore.set{ unsqueeze = false }
