Missing telemetry objects cannot be removed from display layouts

[akhenry]

Summary

If a telemetry object is missing from a display layout due to a dictionary change it cannot be removed from the display layout itself. As a workaround, it can be removed from the tree.

Expected vs Current Behavior

You should be able to remove a missing telemetry object from a display layout by selecting it and clicking on the trash can icon in the toolbar.

The problem appears to be because you cannot select a missing object. See screen recoring -

Steps to Reproduce

1. Import e2e real-time test layout (1).json
2. Navigate to the imported "e2e real-time test layout"
3. Click on a missing alphanumeric telemetry object
4. Observe that the trashcan is not available from the toolbar, and thus the object cannot be removed.

Impact Check List

• Data loss or misrepresented data?
• Regression? Did this used to work or has it always been broken?
• Is there a workaround available?
• Does this impact a critical component?
• Is this just a visual bug with no functional impact?
• Does this block the execution of e2e tests?
• Does this have an impact on Performance?
