<p dir="auto">No solid repro for this unfortunately. What I recall doing (Ubuntu 16.04):</p>
<ol dir="auto">
<li>
<p dir="auto">Copying:</p>
<div class="snippet-clipboard-content notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="a {
  background-color: var(--css-var);
}"><pre class="notranslate"><code class="notranslate">a {
  background-color: var(--css-var);
}
</code></pre></div>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto"><kbd>ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>n</kbd></p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Save as "b.scss"</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Paste</p>
</li>
</ol>

<p dir="auto">Chrome has been supporting some nice improvements for the console, like:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>console.group('foo'): starts to group console content</li>
<li>console.groupEnd('foo') stops the 'foo' group</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">As well as colors inside console text using c-like printf parameters where you may specify css styling:</p>
<p dir="auto">console.log('Controller: %c%s', 'color:<a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="116923175" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/8" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/microsoft/vscode/issues/8/hovercard" href="https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/8">#8</a>;', <math-renderer class="js-inline-math" style="display: inline" data-static-url="https://github.githubassets.com/static" data-run-id="471bcd9bfccf201157ee4acd48f431bf">$route.current.$</math-renderer>$route.controller);</p>
<p dir="auto">This results in much more readable console output:</p>

<p dir="auto">Since VSCode does not parse these layout/color instructions, the end result is barely readable:</p>
