      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

      1. Paste this into chat or somewhere else:
        a	b
      2. 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.
