Add Reset Button for Date Comparison Selection

[Chardonneaur]

This ticket is based on a real use case scenario at a client.
This is the feature concerned:

Current Behavior:
When a user needs to disable a date comparison period in Matomo Analytics, it currently requires three distinct clicks. This process is not only time-consuming but also not immediately intuitive, especially for new users. Identifying the correct areas to click for disabling the date comparison can be challenging.

Encountered Problem:
The need for multiple clicks and the lack of clear guidance on where to perform these clicks to disable the date comparison period can lead to a less efficient user experience. This could be particularly problematic for users who frequently switch between different date comparisons.

Suggested Solution

Enhancement Proposal:
To improve user experience and efficiency, I propose adding a simple 'Reset' or 'Garbage' button next to the segment where the date comparison is displayed. This button would allow users to disable the date comparison with a single click.

Expected Benefits:

Enhanced User Experience: This addition will make the interface more user-friendly, especially for those who are new to Matomo Analytics.
Increased Efficiency: Reducing the action to a single click will save time and streamline the workflow for users.
Clearer Interface: A dedicated reset button would clearly indicate how to disable the date comparison, removing any guesswork.

Additional Information

Use Case Scenarios: This feature would be beneficial in scenarios where users need to frequently toggle between different date ranges or remove the comparison view quickly.
Potential Impact: This change is expected to positively impact all users by simplifying the user interface and making the platform more intuitive.

I believe this enhancement aligns well with Matomo's commitment to providing a user-friendly and efficient analytics platform. Looking forward to the community's thoughts and feedback on this suggestion.

Hi @Stan-vw
thank you for your answer, i got a discussion with Matt, and I guess a simple cross at the right and corner such as a window close cross would be enough, or a bin.
