To remove the string, just click on the map and release.
Click again on the tool to deactivate it.
To activate this functionality on the OpenGL or GdiMap display, use CTRL I key or the following code:

Activate/Deactivate the l (LoS) string on the map.
Click on the tool, cursor changes to symbol +. Click on the map and (with mouse button down) move the mouse to define the LoS string.
The extremity of the string are dropped on the ground below it. The color change (blue/red) at the point where the terrain is blocking the view.
