David Taylor cf4356cd81 UX: Do not add leading/trailing spaces when copying API key in Firefox
If there is any other whitespace in the container, then Firefox will add a leading/trailing space when double clicking the key. This commit wraps the key in a div with no whitespace, to work around the problem.
