Tabs are copied wrong from [sourcecode] sections?

  Hi.
  I often use [sourcecode] ShortCode sections (specifically, [sourcecode language="cpp"]).
  These come with a nifty feature – when you hover over the section 4 buttons appear at the upper right corner, one of which is ‘copy to clipboard’.
  After clicking it and pasting elsewhere, I see that in-source tabs are pasted as ‘ ‘, and not as tab characters.

  Here’s a post with some code-with-tabs to verify: http://thetweaker.wordpress.com/2011/11/13/reading-monitor-physical-dimensions-or-getting-the-edid-the-right-way/

  Is it indeed a WP bug? Does someone have a workaround? even better – can someone from within WP fix it?

  thanks!

  shortcode, the ‘copy’ hover button copies in-source tabs wrong: it pastes them as ‘nbsp;’ .
  Here’s a post of mine as an example:
