            Bug ID: 119056
           Summary: Tab character ('\t') is removed from text cells at
                    document (close and) open
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: sb at sbilyk.com

Description:
Inserting text into cells which contains tab character ('\t') persists at the
cells (can be used for formatting, or simply as part of text) for as long as
document is opened.
After closing and opening document all tab characters at text cells are
replaced by spaces (' ').

Copy-pasting text with tabs and using it for formatting is frequent operation
and this character should not be removed, and actually it should be invalid
behavior to modify content of text cells - it is expected to get data which was
entered into cells.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy text with tab character from text editor and insert into cell
(preferably at start of text so it will be immediately noticed).
2. Save and close document.
3. Open document.

Actual Results:
Text at the cell contains spaces instead of tab characters.

Expected Results:
Text at text cells is not modified.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
