Pressing X on Parent selection in "Properties" parents it to nil

[iiau]

Repro: Try it with any deletable instance in studio.

This bug has actually been existent for many years yet not reported as a bug.
Pressing “X” should cancel the parent selection, not :remove() it.

This is not a bug, this is intended behavior. The X is not a cancel button, it’s a clear button. To cancel this selection just press esc or click somewhere else within the properties window.

I’m fairly sure that’s exactly what that X is for.

That being said, it might make sense to hide the X on the Parent property setter, since I can’t think of a use case where you actually want to do this since it deselects the object afterwards, meaning it’s equivalent to deleting the object.
