I'd suggest either truncating the host name (could still lead to problems with longer hostnames), making the divider adjustable (feels annoying to make the user accomodate the UI), or just drawing the dropdown indepedently of the field below it, on a higher CSS Z-level, in relation to the parent container.

@towo This is actually misleading -- the host switcher isn't supposed to work in the client. You need to log out and connect to a different host. Please see https://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-322.html for more details. Sorry for the confusion!
