Because "IDE" isn't a valid number, "HIDE" sets the Height of the control to zero. Laughing
the manual wrote:
Hidden: The control is initially invisible. Use "GuiControl Show" to show it later. The word Hidden may optionally be followed immediately by a 0 or 1 to indicate the starting state (0 for visible and 1 for hidden). In other words, Hidden and Hidden%VarContainingOne% are the same.
(HIDE != Hidden)

ok it's not bug then. i don't know why it's HIDDEN only for gui command. while HIDE is used at everywhere else. if HIDDEN could be recognized as option, HIDE also could be recognized, isn't?

...this is a different guest, but I vote for hide being a synonym for hidden (technically I would just rename all "hidden" options to "hide" but then there's backwards compat issues)...hidden is too long...I like hide...

this is different guest of different guest. backward compatibility issue can be easily solved. add HIDE and keep HIDDEN rather than replacing it

It makes sense for the string of GUI options to use an adjective rather than a verb...

...but lemme add one thing...rename all the docs to say "hide" & just let people forget it was once "hidden", even if it's left working for back compat...

...omg lol, I failed "the parts of speech"...but, put simply, hide is shorter...& easier to type/think of...I don't care which is an adj or verb...
