Description
### Description
Agent executed something via terminal, it failed with an error. Not only agent doesn't see the error, but I cannot even copy the error to the agent because VS Code is copying something else.
Selecting red text and doing Copy copies the whole entire chat history that still doesn't contain the lines I'm trying to copy.
