Inconsistent wrapping of tabs

Description
Please describe the problem: I've noticed a strange wrapping behavior. This is possibly intentional, but it doesn't make sense to me. The text "[tab]word" is treated as one word for wrapping some purposes. As is "word[tab]".
Steps to reproduce:
- In a text view type "word1 word2[tab][tab][tab...]word3" with enough tabs to cause it to wrap. it will wrap like:
word1
word2 word3
- insert a space after word2 and it will look like:
word1 word2
word3
Actual results: shown above
Expected results: I expect the tabs to be fit in as best they can on the above line, then wrapped on the next. so 1 would be:
word1 word2
word3
and 2 would be:
word1 word2
word3
if the extra space caused another tab to wrap around
Does this happen every time? No, only if the tabs aren't going to fit. It's hard to explain exactly.
