Does it 'disappear' because you have navigated to a different dashboard tab?  
If so, that's expected, as you need to install a ui-context node for each menu location.  
To avoid duplicating the menu config, save it to context, and allow all of the ui-context nodes to share the single context data (like [in this example](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/contextmenu-location/22780/47)) .
