The bracket when "Double click on the bracket, and drag the bottom point down to the lowest stave", it returns to its original state. It does not stay in the position to leave it.
If I could send a video in .mp4 format, you would understand when to see.
The video takes 3.08 Mb. Would I send for some means?
This fourm can't upload videos. However, if you can post a series of pictures here, that would work. Can you also post your .mscz? Also, what OS are you on (I don't know if that matters)?
You can't extend your bracket downwards because the 2nd staff already has a bracket. It actually has 3 brackets! You can see this as soon as you turn one of the other instruments visible as well.
After removing those three brackets already present, you can extend your bracket as intended.
Bracket can't be extended to end on staff if next staff is invisible

Your score has dozens of invisible staves, that seems to be the source of the problem. Was this done intentionally? Were you perhaps marking staves invisible when you should instead have been using parts (File / Parts)?
Anyhow, I can now reproduce the problem:
1) new score using Strng Quartet template
2) Edit / Instruments
3) uncheck Visible for Viola staff
4) OK
5) try to adjust bracket to cover top two staves only
Result: you can't. The bracket will not stop at the Violin II staff; you can brqacket either the top staff only or all three. The invisible Viola staff is preventing the bracket from ending at the Violin II staff.
BTW, my response crossed with jeetee's. Multiple brackets might well have this effect "by design", but the issue with invisible staves can be reproduced with only a single bracket. So I do consider this a bug, although perhaps a duplicate of the one I referenced above.
I recall this happening to me before as well when I had an invisible staff, and worked around it by doing what that other bug report says: make all staffs visible before extending brackets.
I'm wondering if maybe there should be a message that pops up saying something like "set all instruments visible before extending brackets.". That way people aren't surprised when their N-staff brackets becomes >N staves. But then again no one likes error messages.

umm...yes the can. Double click on the bracket, and drag the bottom point down to the lowest stave.
Or is there something else you want?

I send the document with explanation
My SO is Windows 10
Thanks!
It works for me. It could be something specific about your score, so in order to investigate further, we'd need you to attach that.
I attached the score.
Thank you.

See also #41431: bracket behaviour incorrect when some parts are hidden, probably same basic issue.

It's probably easier to just fix the bug than code up a dialog box :-)
good point! :)
Thank you very much to all. I could solve.
Came up again in https://musescore.org/en/node/215856
This bug is still reproduceable in 2.3.2 . I do not have the processing speed for 3 so I need someone else to check that.
One can make the staff visible and then add the bracket so there is a workaround.

I get the same results in the 3.0 stable version and haven't seen anything that makes me think it was fixed.
First reported for 2.1 other even older
