Interesting.  The reason I don't think I've seen this is because
there's no way to enter a tab into FXTextField.  Or any control character,
for that matter. So text drawing in FXTextField has no "substitute" characters
to render the way FXText does.

Maybe this is something that should be fixed, or at very least, protected against.
