does zooming out with your browswer help to see more content here ?
please note that without client side rendering of the graphs, it would
not be possible to zoom in and out the graphs themselves
and client rendering takes a bit more of time of course

 d) when by mistake one of the fields in the "Status" box is selected,

Yes I could see that issue
the text fields here should actually not be selectable
can you please submit a bug report in https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/ for
that ?
