[debug console] Copying all debug console text only copies text in view

[thegecko]

Description

When copying all text in the debug console, only a partial copy is made to the clipboard. It seems this is only copying the text in view.

Reproduction Steps

Create a noddy program with lots of output, e.g.:

var x = 30;
for (var i = 0; i < x; i ++) {
    console.log("message " + i);
}

Debug this program and select all in the debug console output.

Use the context menu to copy the selection and paste it somewhere.

Observe the pasted output is truncated. e.g. copying when scrolled to the top produces:

/Users/thegecko/.nvm/versions/node/v10.16.0/bin/node --inspect-brk=45088 debug/test.js 
Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:45088/6ba792fd-2c84-4ecb-ba4c-e9b9dcd76faa

Related https://github.com/theia-ide/theia/issues/3610 or maybe the same 😄

Looks similar. We figured it's because of exposing a backend terminal.

I think this is really a problem in the react list widget: "select all" should set the selection to all items and actions like "copy" should refer to the internal model, not the rendered text. This works correctly in the editor. There is really no reason it should not in a virtualized list widget. The said, not sure how this could be fixed.
