Build Identifier: M20110210-1200

If i create a tab with ctrl+tab in a table string column, the tab is not shown correctly in html.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to string column
2. enter "a", ctrl+tab, "b" and focus another cell
3. tab is shown as space, not as tab

Solution:
Replace a tab "\t" with "<span style=\"white-space:pre\">&#9;</span>" in the htmlEncode (StringUtility) method. Also check the functionality in the htmlDecode method.

Problem:
In table cells, tabulators are not rendered correctly namely as non-breaking spaces.
Solution:
Tabs are only to be interpreted as real tabs in multiline tables. If non-HTML text is content of a cell, its content is encoded to be printed as HTML.
>In StringUtility#htmlEncode, tabs are to be converted into HTML tabs in the form of <span style=\"white-space:pre\">&#9;</span>
>In StringUtility#htmlDecode, HTML tabs and HTML breaks are to be converted into \t and \n, respectively.
Migration: None
Status: Fixed
