How many chat/combat windows do you have open? You naturally start out the game with 1 window that contains all chat (/say, /group, etc) and all combat (spell casts, effects, skills) together. Most people create a 2nd or 3rd window to separate some of that info. Do you think you created multiple (many!) windows and the spell effects are being shown on one of the windows you're not looking at?
In terms of checking the chat window, if you right click the chat window bar, you can dictate where this particular message would go via Chat Window (right click) -> Filters -> Spells -> Worn Off.
I do hear of some UI errors where maybe the chat window in question is off screen due to resolution adjustment. If you think that might be the case, you can delete your character's UI file (UI_Charactername_P1999Green.ini) to reset it and check. Might want to make a copy/rename the file before deleting.
