Visualisations that don't disappear when all objects are removed from them

If one or more data objects are added to a data visualisation, and then all objects are removed from it, the visualisation itself is removed from the report. This can be particularly annoying if you've spent time applying formatting options to the visual.

Applying new objects to the visualisation before removing those objects no longer required is a workaround, as is clicking undo, but it would be better if the visualisation did't disappear.

Is it possible for visuals to remain on the page even if all applied objects are removed?
