java – How do I make Eclipse 2023-09 console output tab characters compatible with Excel?

I recently updated from a 2022 version of Java Eclipse IDE to 2023-09. I’ve been using the console output via System.out.println to display columns of raw data delimited by tab characters, \t, that I then copy and paste into Excel for plotting and analysis. Ever since the update, pasting the data into Excel results in the tabs apparently being detected as spaces instead, and I get a single column of numbers all separated by spaces instead of several column each containing 1 number, which can’t be used for data plotting.

If I paste the raw data into a text editor first and then copy/paste that into Excel, I get the columns to which I am accustomed, but that gets arduous quickly.

I tried poking around in the preferences, but couldn’t find anything relevant to my problem. What kind of settings do I need to adjust to fix this? I want my old functionality back.
