Tab Character is not respected by constrained editor range type

[Nidoxs]

I am currently working with the Monaco Editor & the Constrained Editor Plugin.

I have defined some code like so, including the use of a tab character:

I want to set the editable area to a single line starting from the 5th column onwards:

Error

Does the use of a tab character (when manually setting the value with setValue) not get recognised by the Monaco editor? I was expecting the max column count for line 2 to be 5 after \t and a space

@Nidoxs Thank you for bringing up this issue.

I get the available space information from monaco editor instance, and I think monaco editor doesn't change the \t to a 4 column space value before creating the instan. I also feel, that is a reasonable assumption from monaco editor, as there is a configuration called tabSize where it can be set according to user preference.

I will think about all possible scenarios and add a workaround in my library, if necessary.

For now, you can alter your code as this,

public class Rocket() {
____
}

(Note: I replaced tab spaces by underscores for visualizing)
