Cannot copy/paste from ANSI console without escape sequences

[rwellman-ats]

Hopefully this is completely self-explanatory.
I have tried this multiple ways (keyboard Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, right-click, and the confusing button labelled "copy text with escapes")

Spring Tool Suite 4
Version: 4.11.0.RELEASE
Build Id: 202106180608

Yes, I agree, this is confusing and doesn't work as expected. I think some time ago we implemented the standard copy/paste feature to exclude the escape sequences and therefore added a button to get the full text sequence including the escape sequences. But that doesn't seem to work anymore.

I raised an issue here mihnita/ansi-econsole#65

Waiting for the next ANSI Console release to get a fix in.

A new version of the ANSI Console plugin has been published and will be included in the upcoming 4.13.0.RELEASE
