Tabs turn into spaces when pasting text

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In editor Options, select "Tab indent" and "Tab delete"
2. copy text with no preceding white spaces.
3. go to an end of an indented line and press return to get a new line.
4. new line is properly indented (with a tab).
5. paste text.
6. indentation is changed to spaces, instead of tabs.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected output: indentation stays with tabs.
output: indentation is changed to spaces, which breaks the code.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Pyscripter 2.1.10

I assume you have the "Tabs to spaces" editor option unchecked.  When working 
with tabs (not really recommended, see 
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) you should uncheck the "Trim trailing 
spaces option" to avoid issues such as the ones mentioned.

I thought convention was tabs, not spaces.

I concur with the invalidity of this bug and will be converting my code to 
spaces (yay for "Reindent" option :)
