No your example doesn't show the bug. The bug has to do with singing either 
a whole word or last syllable across several notes to which an extender line 
gets placed i.e. This _________________________________________ end. 
Currently in version 2.11.14 in Lilypond if there is a rest in the middle of 
the melisma the extender line stops at the rest and does not continue to 
where I have explicitly stated \melismaEnd.



The minimal example you provided has no melisma so I would expect that no 
extender line would be drawn. I've attached my 'minimal' example again which 
shows this error.



The second verse I added shows a  hypenated example where the hyphen 
continues to where I have stated \melismaEnd. I would expect that the 
extender line extends as far as the hyphenated one, except that it should be 
a continous line.



I hope this helps.
