🐛 Copying from the output in terminal and pasting elsewhere gives weird character for space symbol

[jpike88]

Environment information

biome 1.2.2

What happened?

Just pasting in here creates a similar issue:

   import MobileDetect from 'mobile-detect';
    220     │ - import·{·NgxStripeModule·}·from·'ngx-stripe';
    221     │ - import·{·EventDataPayload·}·from·'@shared/models/Event';
        221 │ + import·{·NgxStripeModule·}·from·'ngx-stripe';

These weird dot characters make it hard to easily copy and paste snippets from error output.

Expected result

normal space characters

What's your use case specifically?

Because this is intended, it's not a bug. We use centered dots to show the addition of spaces, which are different from tabs. This is really useful when we emit diff diagnostics coming from the formatter.

I may just copy from the terminal into vscode search to easily hone in on the problem error, that's all.

I don't think this is our goal for now. Closing.
