The tongue in cheek answer is "then don't do that" :-).

Seriously, you need to complete the line by clicking a 2nd time on the last node and then the line will stay around.

The behavior (current line drawing disappearing when re-selecting the line tool) is not particularly user friendly and I've opened an issue: https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/4042

Hi, to draw a line, select the line tool, draw the line and on the last point, instead of a single click, double click to finish drawing the line. If without finishing the line you select the line tool again, the current line will disappear.

FYI - A press of the escape (ESC) key also works - the line will stay selected.
