  1. Notice that ANSI colors are (almost) correct rendered on the left panel, but:

a) It always assume black as the foreground color (so black background is invisible) b) It has a larger font that the normal

  1. The details panel doesn't support ANSI colors at all.

It would be nice if

a) All panels supports ANSI colors

or

b) All panels remove all kind of escape codes related to ANSI (so the log would show only plain text, filtering all \x1B[.......m)

Looks like we support a subset of ANSI, presumably via a library. Maybe we can change libraries or forward bug to that library.
