The address at the head of the session column is the one place the desktop
head prints the endpoint it actually dialled, and it was a TextBlock — which
in Avalonia is a drawing of a string rather than a string. The next thing
people do with an endpoint is paste it somewhere: into a second client, into
a ticket, into the ssh command being written in the window beside this one.
Retyping is how a digit goes missing from an address that is mostly digits.
SelectableTextBlock, which is what the rest of this application already
reaches for wherever a string is on screen to be taken away — a fingerprint,
a public key, a recovery code, a snippet's command. Nothing else about the
row moves: same font, weight, colour and trimming, same tooltip, same close
button beside it. The sidebar is one control drawn on both surfaces, so SFTP
gets it for the same reason it gets everything else in that block.
The trimming and the selection do disagree at the long end, and the fix for
that is not to drop the trimming: the ellipsis is there because a long
account@host:port would otherwise push the close button off the edge of a
panel whose whole point is that it can be got rid of. A drag reaches only the
glyphs that were drawn, so a trimmed address has to be taken with select-all
— and select-all takes the whole thing, because the ellipsis is a drawing and
not a shorter value. That is the half a test can quietly lose, so it is the
half the new test asserts, on the longest address the suite has rather than
on one that fits and would pass either way.
