I recently found that some logs completely lost their colors in the web UI. Is this a bug? Has someone run into the same problem?

On CircleCI vs Local:

## Facts

- I used to see colored output from the same test before. (Has something changed recently?)
- The same problem also occurs in other jobs in the same workflow. They use various kind of tools like Node.js + mocha, Node.js + jest, Rust, etc. (So I think this is not test-specific.)
- Other steps in the same job works well. The problematic steps likely to have relatively large output.
- They works expectedly in the local environment.

I’m using serilog with AnsiConsoleTheme.Code chosen for the console logger. When I run it locally both as a docker container or just on CLI it works fine and colors are output. But when it runs inside CCI no color. I’m guessing it’s something related to converting ANSI codes to HTML?

I found that new UI (opt-in) shows the correct color. I hope this UI will become the default soon 🙂
