Please send some code.

The issue is probably related to voicing.
If you can make one voice cross the staves the slur will do also.
But if you don't attach the slur to both des's you're heading for trouble.

So either make the des''' the sequence of the l.h. voice and the lower 
staff rest the sequence of the r.h. voice, or use a hidden voice just 
for typesetting the slur.
(see

for a similar problem)
