Description of problem: virt-manager shows several fields with the appearance of editable text boxes, even though no edits can be made to those fields. These should be shown as labels instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.9.0-5.fc16.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit->Connection Details of a qemu connection 2. Select the "Network Interfaces" tab, and look at the MAC: field for an interface 3. Try to highlight that MAC address, for pasting somewhere else 4. Select the "Virtual Networks" tab, and look at the Network: field 5. Try editing the Network field Actual results: 3. MAC field is shown as a label, but it is not highlightable, so it can't be copied. 5. Network: field is shown as an editable text box, but refuses edits. For now, the fact that the data is uneditable is a design decision (I'll open a separate bug for an RFE to change that design), but the GUI should make this obvious by displaying as a label. Expected results: 3. Even when not editable, labels describing information about a guest must be assumed to be useful as something that can be highlighted, copied, and pasted elsewhere. 5. When not editable, a field should be shown as a label instead of a text box. I'm not sure how many fields throughout virt-manager fit this category; I noticed it with the host's networks, but there may be other fields also needing improvement.
