vte loses tab characters at soft line breaks

Submitted by Luke Hutchison Link to original bug (#769316)
Description
If I print TSV (tab-separated values) data to the terminal, if a tab character (or multiple tab characters) occurs at the end of a "soft line break" (where the line hasn't ended, but the right edge of the console is reached), when I select and copy a block of text containing that line, the tab character(s) is/are dropped. Tab characters are significant in TSV, so this is a big problem when working with tab-delimited data in the console.
(Sorry I'm testing on such an old version (0.34.x), it is the only version that we can run on my work machine.)
Version: 0.34.x
