Bug Description

Ubuntu 14.10 (r20)

There is no chance to paste a long wpa key in the passphrase textfield for a new AP.
Thats bad if you have a long passphrase like 63 signs.

If it has sth. to do with security, fine. But then remove the Show Key Option too;-)

This almost certainly would need to be added by the UI side of things, which lives inside unity8.

I think this is an issue in ubuntu-ui-toolkit, the popup menu(copy/paste) exists after you long pressed in the textfield , but it appears under the wifi dialog and even the indicator page. So we can't see it.
