The card that fills the terminal's rectangle while a connection is being made prints two lines saying which machine and at what address, and both were TextBlocks — which in Avalonia is a drawing of a string rather than a string. It is the one place the shell says what it is dialling *before* anything has answered, and on a refusal it is the only copy of that on screen: there is no prompt yet and there may never be one. That is exactly when the value is wanted somewhere else — in a ticket, in a message to whoever owns the host, in the ssh command being written in the window beside this one — and retyping it off the screen is how a digit goes missing from an address that is mostly digits. SelectableTextBlock, the same change the session column's own address got in "Let the session address be selected, and copied whole" and for the same reason. Nothing else about either line moves: same font, size, weight, colour, trimming and centring. The refusal underneath them was already selectable, which made the pair above it the odd ones out. Both lines rather than only the name. They are two lines of one identifier, and a pair where the first can be taken and the second cannot is a worse answer than either. Tooltips are new, and they are what makes the trimming safe rather than a trap. A drag reaches only the glyphs that were drawn, so a name or an address wearing an ellipsis has to be taken with select-all — which takes the whole value, because the ellipsis is a drawing and not a shorter string. The hover says what the whole value is, so nobody copies half of one without having been told there is a half. Same argument, same shape, as the sidebar's. The test asserts that half rather than the easy one, on values long enough to be trimmed inside the card's 460 pixels; values that fit would pass whether the trimming were render-only or not. Confirmed it bites by putting the two TextBlocks back and watching it fail. The phone draws the same two lines in the same state — TerminalScreen.axaml's IsConnectingShowing block — and is deliberately left alone. Its captions are styled by TextBlock.title and TextBlock.detail selectors in Phone.axaml, so the same substitution there silently drops the styling until those rules gain SelectableTextBlock siblings, which is a theme change rather than this one. Worth doing; not worth smuggling in here. Also: WindowDecorations on the splash instead of SystemDecorations, which Avalonia 12 has deprecated in favour of it. That warning was mine, added two commits ago; the main window's own is older and is not this change's to move. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
