steps to repro:
1 - type a tab into a text editor
2 - copy it
3 - focus on a text field (such as any of the ones on this lovely page)
4 - attempt to paste. note that nothing happens. if you paste in the center of a word there's no spaces, nothing.

Also, if you attempt to set a text field's value via calling [element setValue:@"foo\tbar"]; 
the text field will end up displaying 'foo'. The rest of the string is concatinated at the tab character. If tab characters cannot be entered into text fields, it seems reasonable to at least just remove them rather than to discard any following information.
