Issue Description

Output from Format-Table breaks inside the integrated console when you add vt100 sequences to change the colors. This works fine in every other terminal I've tried that supports this feature.
You can try this out with the following code:

$TableOutput=Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4 | Format-Table
$i=0
foreach ($Line in $TableOutput)
 {
     $FieldList=$Line.formatEntryInfo.formatPropertyFieldList

     if ($FieldList)
     {
        $i++
         if ($i%2 -eq 0)
         {
             foreach ($Property in $FieldList)
             {
                 $Property.propertyValue="$([char]27)[92m$($Property.propertyValue)$([char]27)[0m"
             }
         }
     }
 }
