Misleading UI for deleting features: "Delete ALL" looks like "Delete selected" #1023

Description

@christophfriedrich

I had drawn a few things, wanted to delete ONE point, so when seeing this in the left pane thought "Great, I have the point selected, now just click the bin icon to delete it":

BAM, everything gone. Because apparently that is the "delete ALL" button. Yes, I could've waited for the title text to display so I could've known, but honestly this is a quite misleading UI design that is just waiting for errors like this.

Recommendation: Replace the icon with a "blank document" icon, or anything else that indicates clearly that everything will be gone.

(Sorry that I may sound a bit too angry on this, but this was quite annoying because the undoing didn't work either, which I'll file separately)
