Be sure, that you're in the text edit mode, see: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/text-editing#text-edit-mode.
To be clear: melisma lines are only displayed when they are actually entered into the score by the person who created the score - they are never added automatically. So if the user goes out of her way to ask for one, we honor that; we don't try to make value judgments on whether it was needed or not. As noted, they be be deleted by simply replacing them with a hyphen or space as appropriate.
