Pressing TAB once in TRichViewEdit produce tabulation and moves cursor as it must do, but to delete it I need to press backspace twice.

But I'm going to play with it... May be there is something on my side and Unicode...

I'm using

Code: Select all

RichViewEdit1.InsertTextW(WideChar($0009));
or
RichViewEdit1.InsertText(#9);

and the same thing. It produces tab but to delete it I need do press backspace twice. After first backspace cursor moves one space !right! and after the second it deletes that space and tab and moves x positions left.

I confirm the bug.
These methods add tabulator + empty text item.
It will be fixed in the next update.
While you can use InsertTab method.
