Extra space after each character in output pane

[doxxx]

Type: Bug

In the output panes created by some extensions, such as the Test Results pane from the C/C++/CMake extensions and the various build output panes created by the ESP-IDF extension, sometimes the text in the pane will have an additional space character after each actual character. Drag-selecting text will select both the character and its following space as a unit.

The workaround is to use Ctrl-Plus and Ctrl-Minus to scale the UI up and down, which gets rid of the extra spaces.

More detail can be found in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cmake-tools/issues/3514 where I originally filed this issue before I also saw it in the ESP-IDF extension.
