Postman incorrectly escaped characters in json pretty mode when the escape character is escaped

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the Issue

When using the "Pretty" display feature for json, postman incorrectly displays characters it thinks should be displayed even when the escape character \ is escaped.

This is a bit of a PITA to test against other implementations due to them using the \ to escape things, so be extra careful what you verify it against.

Steps To Reproduce

POST this json request:

{
    "message": "Escape \\u0041 Test"
}

to

https://httpbin.org/post

And observe the output between "Pretty" and "Raw". The \\u0041 has been converted to \A in "Pretty" which is incorrect at the \ is escaped.

In httpbin the request is already pretty printed, so it's quite easy to compare Raw and Pretty.
