Description:
Copying result set via Ctrl+C has extra tab character at the beginning, resulting in an empty column when pasting from the clipboard into a text document or a spreadsheet.

Here is an example of what the pasted output looks like:
	col1	col2	col3
	col1	col2	col3
	col1	col2	col3
	col1	col2	col3
	col1	col2	col3

Instead the clipboard should contain the following:
col1	col2	col3
col1	col2	col3
col1	col2	col3
col1	col2	col3
col1	col2	col3

How to repeat:
Run a query, then select a row or all rows from the result set and copy using Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut.

Suggested fix:
Do not generate a leading tab character into the clipboard during the copy operation.
