TextArea doesn't support the tab character because it doesn't support =
tab stops. Instead, Control-Tab key presses are converted to spaces. You =
can configure this via the tabWidth style. It doesn't currently work for =
pasting text containing tabs, though - this should probably be entered =
as a bug.

It should be the same font, but it is rendered in a different color. Is =
that what you mean?

Thanks.

I believe there is a feature request for this already, but if not please =
feel free to enter one.
