Tabulators in text brake the menu

[mreitschuster]

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from simple_term_menu import TerminalMenu

def main():
    options = ["entry \t 1", "entry \t 2", "entry \t 3"]
    terminal_menu = TerminalMenu(options)
    menu_entry_index = terminal_menu.show()
    print(f"You have selected {options[menu_entry_index]}!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

A small change from the original example - adding tabs in the option list - makes the tool behave unexpectedly. Instead of being able to move the cursor, clicking an arrow button now makes the menu confusing:
