Problem: Copying from Output Log is not correctly formatted

Issue

If I copy a part of the text of the output log, like so:

Then this copied text manifests like so, verbatim:

 3:57:29 PM
TASK [Gathering Facts] *********************************************************
3:57:34 PM
[WARNING]: Host 'host088' is using the discovered Python interpreter at '/usr/bin/python3.11', but future installation of another Python interpreter could cause a different interpreter to be discovered. See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/2.19/reference_appendices/interpreter_discovery.html for more information.
3:57:34 PM
ok: [host088]

TASK [Ping] ********************************************************************
3:57:35 PM
ok: [host088]

The timestamps on newlines add a lot of noise, and so this isn't easily copy-pastable.

Either the timestamps should not be able to be selected, or they should use spaces instead of newlines.
