Tab character cannot be pasted into the game
Discovered while testing MC-278221.
The bug
The tab character (U+0009) cannot be pasted into text fields, unlike almost every other Unicode character in existence.
How to reproduce
- Paste this into chat or somewhere else:
a b
- Use backspace to delete it
Expected results
There would be a visibly large gap between a and b, and it would take three presses of backspace to fully delete what was pasted.
Actual results
There is no gap between a and b, and what was pasted is deleted in two presses.
