Description

> As for the display of task logs the big feedback item from myself and from my users is that copy paste is much harder in v3 than v2. Also scrolling is much worse as it gets very slow after several hundred lines & page up/down don't work properly anymore.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the task-log viewer issue with several hundred lines and compare scrolling, page-up/page-down, and copy-paste behavior. The issue does not name files or tests, so locate the log display entry point first. Done means large logs remain responsive to scroll and navigation, with copying no harder than in v2.
