[Qgis-user] Removing a layer name from the legend

[Anita Graser]

Hi,

In previous versions it was possible to remove the layer name by
clicking edit on the legend item and deleting the text, as described in

https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/130625/how-to-remove-layer-names-from-the-print-composer-legend

In master, deleting the text does not delete the layer, the text can be
changed but not removed completely.

Am I missing something?

My use case: Design a 2 column legend for a single categorized layer
with 4 categories. Currently, the left column consists of the layer name
and two categories. The right column contains the remaining two
categories but they are not well aligned with the category entries in
the left column. This is because the items in the right column are
aligned with the top of the layer name. To achieve a nice alignment, I
would usually delete the layer name but now it seems that I can't.

Regards,

Anita
