calc-document with a carret on an diagram

I managed several times (I don't know how) to put a carret in the middle of
diagrams.
I is very difficult, to get rid of this extra "text" on then chart area.
I couldn't find anything in the context menu of any component of the diagram.

Coincidentally I discovered, that there are two hidden possibiblities.

You have to activate the diagram, by clicking once (no doubleclick) on the
diagram to get the 8 small rectangles in Windows (or the 8 green solid squares
in linux). 

If you press Backspace, the diagram will be deleted.

Instead, after klicking on the diagram, you must type any character, or press
F2 to switch to the Edit-/Replace-Mode.

Thereupon you can edit your input and delete it e.g. with backspace.

I think, there should be a possibility to reach this edit-mode via the
context-menu of the Diagram, at least via the context-menu of the chart area.
