If it disappears it means one of two things:
1) The cleaving plane didn't intersect the selected surface/sector anywhere.
2) You ran into a "vertical cleave" bug.
About 1). Make sure you draw a line across SELECTED sector/surface. Keep in
mind that the PLANE actually cleaves it. The plane is defined by a line
you draw and it's perpendicular to grid plane. So if you have grid tilted, the
cleaving plane might not intersect your surface/sector even though it might
look this way on the screen.
About 2). It's a bug. It'll be fixed in the next version.

Make sure to keep your hand steady :-).

Press Esc and it will go away.
