Wipe Tower Disappears after Slicing

I'm having a problem with the wipe tower disappearing after slicing. This is a 3-color print. The print itself is fairly side and tall, but there's definitely enough room for the wipe tower. While the slicing is calculating it shows the wipe tower. But immediately once the slice calculation is completely done (progress bar completes), the wipe tower simply disappears off the bed.

I've had the wipe tower hanging off the edge before, this is not that.

Any reasons why this might be happening?

Looks like it was a PrusaSlicer bug. After shutting the software down, opening up, and re-creating the project several times over, eventually it worked. I don't think anything changed.

Also, the "estimated print time" went from ~13 hours (when the wipe tower was missing) to ~21 hours now. That's a huge leap! I might have to rethink the print.
