Current behavior

Can't delete (backspace) a tab character on Android. The editor will delete one space, as if the tab were converted to spaces and one space was deleted, but then the space is quickly added back again.

Expected behavior

The tab character should be deleted

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a new note in Windows, consisting of a tab character (not spaces) followed by some text.
  2. Sync and open the note in Android.
  3. Put the cursor between the tab and the text. Press backspace with the on-screen keyboard.

Environment

Desktop

  • Boost Note.next version: 0.9.0
  • OS version and name: Windows 10

Mobile

  • Boost Note app version: 0.4.1
  • OS version and name: Android 9
