The "remove" link button gets hidden behind auto suggest also, it's out of context in current place. We want to move it outside edit mode (inspector) and put it in context mode next to the link.

An editor at de.wp suggests the button should actually be an icon, a "stylized red cross" (I guess something like this).

I don't particularly like the one you linked to (maybe it makes more sense when it's smaller), but sure, I can ask.

@Elitre the problem with the red cross is, it might suggest that the text will be deleted in-fact it just removes a property of the text (link)
Also the unlink icon is pretty commonly used for removing links
here's better versions for it https://thenounproject.com/search/?q=unlink this icon in red would work too
