Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-696:
--------------------------------------
I added a new property to TextArea called "expandTabs" which is set to false by
default, and which controls whether this tab expansion happens during "setText"
and "insertText". The default behavior (now) will be the same as it was in
version 2.0.2, but by setting this property true the new behavior is enabled.

>
> Currently, if you press Ctrl+Tab in a TextArea, series of space characters
> entered. (The number of space characters can be specified with tabWidth
> property.) Text containing tabs can be set by TextArea.setText, but then tab
> characters are not displayed. It is desirable that TextArea supports tab
> stops so users can enter and see tab characters.
