Legacy (django) Launch Instance dialog - UUIDs for NICs on the Networking tab are very difficult to read

[Matt]

When you go to Launch an Instance, once you get to the Networking tab, it appears there's some sort of UUID displayed for each NIC, however, the font used for it is really tiny, and is very difficult to read.

Would it be possible to use a tool tip/hover-over, or some sort of selection mechanism where you could show some details on the right side of the pane for a selected NIC? It seems like currently it's included just in case someone might need it, but even if they did need it, I'm not sure they'd be able to read it.

Here's the simple font-size change. the uuid was very very long so I made the element an inline-block element so it can take up the whole block.

I've moved the button higher up in the info box, so that any other info in addition to "uuid" can be added in each network information box. See screenshots.

My only concern is that things might end up being cluttered as more NICs are added, but with the two it seems fine. I like the latest update, with the higher button. Definitely more readable with the larger font.

Honestly speking, a case where we need network UUIDs in "Launch Instance" form is only when we have multiple networks with a same name. This case is no so many.

My suggestion is to not display network UUID by default and only display network UUID for network with same name.

[Matt (mreid)]

That sounds good to me Akihiro. If it's generally not that useful, and only could come in handy to help selection of networks with the same name, it'd be nice to only show it when we know there are multiple NICs with the same name on that modal. In situations where we'd need to show the UUID, we could show it how Susan's patch reworked the text and layout. We'd want it to be legible in those cases, and the fix that was proposed makes it much easier to read.

We need to verify if it's still actual.

The new launch instance form with Angular implementation is now the default and we are planning to deprecate and drop the legacy launch instance form. In the new form, the network information is shown more clearly and this issue does not apply to the new launch instance. Considering this, we would like to mark this bug as Won't Fix.
