Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type some text in textarea 2. Paste a string containing tabs from any other app (Excel, Notepad) 3. Seems to work fine when textarea is empty Actual Results: Moving the cursor with arrow key reveals the spaces Expected Results: Tabs (chr 9) should be preserved
