In the current document editing model, this is the only solution. If text

item is protected from deletion, any operation deleting it is blocked.

Deleting the last character of item deletes the item itself, so it's not

allowed.

Yes, I plan to add an option for text style protection allowing zero-length

text item.

It's not very complex problem, but not a trivial one: many text editing

operations should be checked if they assume that text item in the middle of

paragraph cannot be empty.
