Using the copy button\[1\] to copy a code block does not include any leading spaces.

Test case:

```plaintext
        GPU0 GPU1 NIC0 NIC1 CPU Affinity NUMA Affinity GPU NUMA ID
GPU0 X NV12 NODE NODE 0-15 0 N/A
GPU1 NV12 X PHB PHB 0-15 0 N/A
NIC0 NODE PHB X PIX                             
NIC1 NODE PHB PIX X

```

What is actually copied:

```plaintext
GPU0 GPU1 NIC0 NIC1 CPU Affinity NUMA Affinity GPU NUMA ID
GPU0 X NV12 NODE NODE 0-15 0 N/A
GPU1 NV12 X PHB PHB 0-15 0 N/A
NIC0 NODE PHB X PIX                             
NIC1 NODE PHB PIX X

```

Same thing happens in both posts and chat.
