Irregular whitespace in task terminal output on Windows

[kieferrm]

While testing #76016 on Windows.

task.json used:

{
    // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
    // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
			"label": "One",
			"type": "shell",
			"command": "echo 1",
			"problemMatcher": [],
			"dependsOrder": "sequence",
			"dependsOn":[
				"Two",
				"Three"
			]
		},
		{
			"label": "Two",
			"type": "shell",
			"command": "echo 2",
			"problemMatcher": []
		},
		{
			"label": "Three",
			"type": "shell",
			"command": "echo 3",
			"problemMatcher": [],
			"dependsOrder": "sequence",
			"dependsOn": [
				"Four",
				"Five"
			]
		},
		{
			"label": "Four",
			"type": "shell",
			"command": "echo 4",
			"problemMatcher": []
		},		
		{
			"label": "Five",
			"type": "shell",
			"command": "echo 5",
			"problemMatcher": []
		}
    ]
}

This generates the following output with irregular whitespace inbetween:
