Not everything is invisible
If you make the selection voice 2 in measure 1 of the attached file and press shift-s to add staccato then v to make voice 2 invisible the staccato does not turn invisible. In fact, if you have all of a voice selected and make a change to it, the changes are not selected until you reselect the measure. It seems to me if you have voice 2 selected then any changes should be added to the selection.
I use this to silence the notes in voice 1 and make invisible what is sounded in voice 2, but it leaves things such as staccato and tremolos visible.

An observation: in following your steps, the entering of the staccatos weren't automatically selected at first placement. Before pressing "v" to make invisible the notes and staccato marks, pressing Shift+Up-arrow to select the whole measure again (with voice-1 deselected in the selection options) selected them as well as the voice-2 notes so that the invisibility could be applied to all voice-2 elements. The same goes for other elements, e.g. a slur.
I seem to recall an issue about articulations. The gist of it is that the visibility of the articulation received the command twice; once because it was part of the segment/chord being made invisible and then once more because it was selected.
I *think* this is not the case if you were to perform the same selection, but then uncheck visible using the Inspector.

Yes, that's something that has caused some problems here and there, but I don't think it's the case here. The problem is simply that pressing Shift+S adds the staccato markings to the notes but does not add them to the selection, as mentioned above.

That is correct. I mostly notice this when I'm working around the limitations of Musescore's playback capability. After I add the staccato then the V leaves the staccato visible. This is true of other markings as well, such as tremolo.
