Steps to reproduce

This is a regression from 7.2.6 and only happens:

• on Windows (not on macOS; haven't tried on Linux)
• in regular console windows (conhost.exe), not in Windows Terminal
• with input from external programs

cmd /c echo foo | sls f

Expected behavior

foo should print with f highlighted, to indicate what part of the line matched.

Actual behavior

←[7mf←[0moo

That is, the VT escape sequences are mistakenly rendered as verbatim characters.
