Edit Book: Tabs are not identified in the lower left corner

[arspr]

With the "new" feature about character identification at the left side of the cursor, I don't get identification on Tabs.

When I type a Tab I only get the line and column but not TABULATION (or something like that).

(Calibre 1.19 64-bit although running from source).

Fixed in branch master. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every Friday.

A possible spin-off? Or is it normal?

+ Look at the screenshot. A tab (U+0009) is identified in a quite strange manner.

+ And well you cannot search just through "tab" in the search text box. It gives you nothing.
(Because in wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_Controls_and_Basic_Latin it is also called HT, I've also tested that).

And now the screenshot...

Insert character does not include ascii control codes, since the only two control codes that are udeful -- newline and tab -- can be easily inserted using the keyboard.
