Bug Description

To reproduce:
1. From nodes page click on any FQDN to open node details page
2. From there try to copy FQDN to clipboard

What happens:
* when I start highlight from the left hand side, which is hostname, I can only highlight and copy hostname to clipboard. Domain name becomes separate field that firefox won't let me select
* when I try to select from right, which is FQDN side, I can't highlight at all because it's a dropdown.

Personally I found the following aspects of the UX confusing:
1. FQDN looks like text, there is no indication that it's actually something I can interact with
2. I expect text to be selectable on websites and in this case it's not
3. Mouse hoover shows border around FQDN. This made me think it's actually a text fiend I can edit
4. When I try to edit or highlight it actually becomes one text field and one dropdown which I did not expect.
5. Hostname and domain name are editable but the UI does not indicate that enough. The only reason I found that option is the fact that I was trying to copy FQDN to clipboard. Other section, like "Overview", have very clear "Edit>" button.
