Description

Repro steps:

1. Run a Java Maven application that outputs to the console
2. Click somewhere in a line of text in the Output Window (wrap-text is disabled)
3. Notice that the caret lands many characters to the left of where you click

It is extremely difficult to copy/paste text because we cannot control where the caret begins copy/pasting from.
