Tab (\t) character in a DropDownChoice value causes the returned selected value 
to be null

                 Key: WICKET-2043
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-2043
             Project: Wicket
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: wicket
    Affects Versions: 1.4-RC1
         Environment: Window Vista 64-bit,  javac 1.6.0_10,  BEA weblogic 10.3
            Reporter: Marcin Palka
            Priority: Minor


I use a DropDownChoice with a model of SelectOption objects and a 
ChoiceRenderer (see code below).

This is how I create a DropDownChoice instance:
DropDownChoice separatorDropDown = new DropDownChoice(
                "separatorDropDown",
                new PropertyModel(this, "separator"), //separator is a field in 
my class
                new Model(new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(separators))), 
//separators is an array of SelectOption objects
                choiceRenderer);

This is how the SelectOption looks like:
class SelectOption implements Serializable {
        private String key;
        private String value;
        public SelectOption(String key, String value) {
            this.key = key;
            this.value = value;
        }
        public String getKey() {
            return key;
        }
        public void setKey(String key) {
            this.key = key;
        }
        public String getValue() {
            return value;
        }
        public void setValue(String value) {
            this.value = value;
        }
        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return getKey();
        }
    }

And this is how choiceRenderer looks like
ChoiceRenderer choiceRenderer = new ChoiceRenderer("key", "value");

These are the values that my model consist of:
private SelectOption[] separators = new SelectOption[]{
        new SelectOption("comma", ","),
        new SelectOption("semicolon ", ";"),
        new SelectOption("dot", "."),
        new SelectOption("tab", "\t"), //causes null
        new SelectOption("tabandtex", "\ttext"), //causes null
        new SelectOption("space", " ")};

Whenever any item containing a \t (tab character) in its value field is 
selected, the separator field that PropertyModel points to becomes null. 
Otherwise correct SelectOption instance is being set into separator.

I noticed that tab characters are missing from the output markup generated by 
wicket.
<select wicket:id="separatorDropDown" ...>
<option selected="selected" value=",">comma</option>
<option value=";">semicolon </option>
<option value=".">dot</option>
<option value=" ">tab</option>
<option value=" text">tabandtex</option>
<option value=" ">space</option>
</select>

This is complete code:

Markup part:

    <body>
        <div>
            Separator &nbsp;&nbsp;<select 
wicket:id="separatorDropDown">Separator</select>
        </div>
        <div wicket:id="separatorLabel">separatorLabel</div>
