I am running Musescore Version 3.6.2.548021803 in Windows 11.

Do you mean a glissando? Doesn't look liks a glissando, not using the default position at least.
It is not a Note-anchored line either, what else?

Please provide a sample score

Sorry for the mistakes filling the form.

I want to mean a "Slide out" or "Slide in" marks from the "Arpeggios & glissandi" palette, the ones in the last line of the palette.

The sample score is attached. I discovered that the messed score is actually a problem of rendering. After refreshing, the problem is that the "Slide" mark is not where I´ve put it. Please, see the files attached in order 4, 5 (sample score), 6, 7, 8, and 9.

However, when using the "Glissando" mark, from the same palette, there is no problem at all. This is the mark I will use, after you called my attention to it, instead the "Slide" one.

Thank you.

Indeed, for connecting two specific notes, the glissando is the correct symbol to use. It automatically adjusts according to the pitch and location of the notes. The slide is really just about the single note it is attached to.

If I'm understanding the pictures correctly, the bug is that the space for the adjusted slide wasn't allocated immediately upon editing it - only when the score is fully laid out again does that happen. So, the score is incorrect before the save, correct after. This appears to be a known long-standing issue - see #115736: Slides in/out: score doesn't re-layout after adjustment.

I see. Thank you very much for the explanation!
It would be superb an "Line type" option for the glissando, like the one in "Slur". In guitar you could use a dashed line in glisando to indicate a "tecnical" glissando, just to guide the finger and without doing sound.
