Description Udo Walker CLA 2021-10-25 11:04:48 EDT 
I copy in an text editor a "tab" character and insert it in the same editor but I got 4 space characters. 

How could this happen?

When I set the formatter to "spaces instead of tabs" then this is a formatter functionality.

But why is my copied "tab" not pasted as "tab"?
