Execution time segment spacing varies based on prefix icon

What happened?

While playing around with my theme's colors I found that the execution time prefix causes extra space at the start or end of the segment, and sometimes no space between the prefix and the time, depending on the icon used.

This is the config used in each of those lines:

1. "prefix": " <#fafafa>\ufa1e</> "
2. "prefix": " <#fafafa>\ufbab</> "
3. "prefix": " <#fafafa>\ufbab</> "
4. "prefix": " <#fafafa>\ufc8a</> "
5. "prefix": " <#fafafa>\uf608</> "

Removing the trailing space also effects the icon placement by moving it to the left even more.

I'm using PowerShell Core and WSL Bash in Windows Terminal. The font is MesloLGM NF.

It looks like the prefix color changes where the blank space shows. Using #fafafa it's at the end of the segment, using #fefefe it's between the icon & time.

1. "prefix": " <#fafafa>\ufa1e</> "
2. "prefix": " <#fefefe>\ufa1e</> "

@xt0rted that's a bug in Windows Terminal. We have an FAQ item about it.
