How can I preserve leading white space (indents) in Azure Data Studio XML output

[OneEyedSi]

By default Azure Data Studio seems to remove leading whitespace from the inner text in XML columns in the results of a query. Is there any way to preserve the leading whitespace in XML inner text?

In contrast SQL Server Management Studio retains leading whitespace in the inner text when displaying XML.

Example:

declare @xml xml = 
'<root>
    <text>
Unindented text.
    Single indented text.
        Double-indented text.
    </text>
</root>';

select @xml;

Result in Azure Data Studio, after clicking on the XML output column in the result pane to open the XML in a separate window:

<root>
	<text>
		Unindented text.
		Single indented text.
		Double-indented text.
	</text>
</root>

Desired result:

<root>
	<text>
Unindented text.
	Single indented text.
		Double-indented text.
	</text>
</root>

I've tried unchecking setting Query Editor > Results > Save as Xml: Formatted but that doesn't make any difference so I assume it's for saving the results to a file.

@OneEyedSi Correct in that the setting is only for saving. If this is an option you'd like to see in the results pane, please create an issue (https://github.com/microsoft/azuredatastudio/issues/). Thank you!
