Invisible Tenuto
I don't know whether it is just me or not, but whenever a try to add a tenuto, nothing appears. When I drag a symbol to a note, I should see the symbol I'm dragging, yet when I drag a tenuto, there's nothing under the cursor. Every other ornament works fine, excluding the dportato (combination of a tenuto and staccato). When I try to add a dportato, the staccato appears, but there's no tenuto. Also, it does that for every file I have. I am currently using the prerelease r1770 on Windows Vista. The file is attached below. There should be a tenuto atop of all three eight notes in the flute part in measure 34.

I can reproduce this in the score you attached, but I can not reproduce the problem in any other score. I'm not sure why the file behaves differently.
I am experiencing similar problems.
If I start a test score from scratch, the tenudo insertion works.
If I copy those measures to an existing score, the tenudo underscores dissappear. Staccato's copy.
If I insert a note in existing score, I cannot get the tenudo underscore to appear.

Tenuto is a very thin line and may not be visible depending on your zoom level. Try to zoom in to see if the tenuto is really present. Use Ctrl + your mouse scroll roll to Zoom in/out
Dragging the tenuto works OK for me both in my scores and in the above score. Using MS 1.2, ubuntu 12.04.
I will say that I find dragging the tenuto to the note a bit tedious and fiddly and normally I just select a bunch of notes at a time that need tenutos ([Ctrl]-mouse-click each note) and then double-click on the tenuto symbol.
Detected the same problem with disappearing tenuto after scaling my layout (change the "in-between" number).
My view is 100%.
When i zoom in to 150%, the tenuto's appear again.
This is very inconvenient: no WYSIWYG! 100% seems a normal zoomlevel to me. There is enough space to show the tenuto's (actually: they were visible at 100% on a different layout scaling!).
The tenuto's should in my opinion be visible at 100%.

You have to remember that there is a difference between screen and printer resolutions.
Currently MuseScore concentrates on getting printed output right over and above screen display.
In order for a symbol to look right when printed the line(s) may be too thin to be represented on the screen, particularly if you are working in a low resolution.
In practice I find myself working at around a 120% zoom level most of the time, which seems to show all the symbols properly at the 1280x1024 resolution I normally work in.
In case you don't know there is an undocumented way of controlling zoom with the mouse wheel. Holding CTRL (CMD) while operating the mouse wheel will zoom in/out, which is far more friendly than using the menu options :)
Having said that, it could be argued that MuseScore should scale elements properly for the screen - perhaps it will in a future version if we keep asking for it :)
