How to remove Filters?

Hi,

 

when I try to remove a not-locked Filter from a visual sometimes it isn't possible, because the "x" does not show up:

 

Not removabe:

While here it's possible:

"Dragging out of the pane" does not work, nor ENTF.

 

Why is that?

Is there a way to circumvent this?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

The column which you are adding on the visual will not show "X"(remove filter option) however if you drag the same column or any other column which you are not adding on the visual then it will show the "X".

 

Thanks,
