I noticed that accidentally just after reading your paragraph.
Apparently it is a two step process:
- Click the upper right corner of an activity icon to make a red "x"
appear.
- Then click again on the "x". Now a dialog asks for confirmation to
remove the activity.
Is this kind of interaction supposed to be intuitive, even sensible?
Without asking it didn't occur to me and as far as I can tell, it isn't
documented anywhere.
