Description

In Elsa 3.5, when opening an instance, the copy button in the tabs Details, Variables, and Input/Output was positioned at the front, making it immediately accessible.

In Elsa 3.6, this button has been moved to the back, requiring users to scroll in order to access it. Additionally, a new button has been introduced at the start to view the value.
Effectively, this change increases the number of interactions required to copy a value from one click to three clicks.

Furthermore, the copy button is currently center-aligned. When fields contain a large amount of text, this may require additional scrolling to locate and click the button. (see screenshots below)

**Suggested improvement:**

Reposition the copy button to the front for improved accessibility
Align the button to the top instead of centering it

This would significantly improve usability and reduce unnecessary user interaction.

Research direction

Start by opening an instance and inspecting the copy and value buttons in the Details, Variables, and Input/Output tabs. Done means the copy button is at the front, aligned to the top of large-value fields, and copying no longer requires the extra interactions or scrolling described in the issue.
