Feature Summary

Right now copy pasting FQDNs from job outputs is extremely annoying, when you want to click and select fqdn it usually opens some popup via JS which interrupts the copy operation. This popup again contains FQDN (but is useless in case you want to copy paste multiple fqdns) and even in this popup it's hard to copy paste the FQDN because it adds some garbage unicode symbols around it, so pasting into terminal wraps it with some invisible garbage.

Only workaround is to download job output as TXT then open in editor, find what you need (no highlighting so annoying) and copy it.

Perhaps make it possible to disable this popup or implement "copy" icons next to items that people might want to copy into clipboard, or make it so no invisible garbage gets into the text when copying

Here are screenshots describing my problem:

Selecting this ^ (or multiple hosts - even worse scenario) is interrupted with popup, see next screenshot

In this popup selecting fqdn and doing cmd + c results in invisible garbage being added in front of FQDN
