Azure DevOps Pipeline logs are truncating tables

Question

When running a Powershell on TargetMachine task the logs appear to be truncating output that has been formatted in a table. This happens even when explicitly giving column widths. The truncation is clearly not a limit of the log as other lines in the log are not truncated and go much farther.

In the example above the width for the column "Value" has been explicitly set to 120, but it is getting truncated at much less

get-item -path env:\* | Format-Table -Property @{n="Hostname";e={$env:computername}; width=15},@{ e='Name'; width=35}, @{ e='value'; width=120}

This command formats as expected when run directly on an agent with powershell or run remotely in powershell via Invoke-Command.

How do I get the log to show the correctly formatted table?
