When copying output to the clipboard on macOS, output is padded to 80 columns wide with whitespace #5532
Description
Steps to reproduce
Install PowerShell on macOS
Open a new PowerShell instance
Do something that causes text to be output to the terminal
Copy and paste this text into somewhere else, e.g. a text editor or an email.
There is extraneous whitespace at the end of every line to pad it out to the width of my Terminal window, which is by default 80 columns.
Expected behavior
It is expected that the text output in the Terminal will not have extra whitespace at the end of each and every line.
Actual behavior
Output is padded to the width of the Terminal window.
e.g. if you look at the output for $PSVersionTable below, copy and paste it into a text editor and you will notice that every line is 150 characters long, padded out with the space character. My Terminal window was 150 characters wide so that it could fit in the output for the OS line without truncating it.
