1) create a arpeggio and drag its length to span a whole system (screenshot 20 00 34)
2) save project
3) arpeggio creates additional (vertical!) space (no matter which note the glissando was connected to - top, bottom) screenshot 20 00 49

I am sorry, I mean arpeggio, of course...

This is not a bug - it's normal and correct that MuseScore adds extra space to prevent elements from accidentally colliding with other elements. it has no way of know you were actually trying to create a collision. In general, you can deliberately create collisions by disabling autoplace for the element (eg, by pressing "="). But here, there is a better solution, You don't want the arpeggio to just look like it extends to the other staff - you want to actually extend. Do this by adding the arpeggio to the top staff then pressing Shift+Down to extend it.

Someday we hope to support cross-staff arpeggios more directly - including playback. See for instance #312181: Need ability to extend arpeggios to other voices and staves.
