To be compatible with Parity and MetaMask (which allow you to select the current account outside of the dapp); we need to change the account selection logic to reflect the following:
If web3.eth.defaultAccount is set (Parity / MetaMask), then we should use that and display it in the UI as active account.
If web3.eth.defaultAccount is not set (geth behaviour), then we should show a dropdown menu and allow the user to select their defaultAccount (and set it).
In both cases you should be able to select & copy the active account so you can paste it elsewhere; this is problematic with the current way how we display the pulldown menu in the UI.
