Yes, of course. I didn't mention that I noticed this while
deleting the tabs from the string. To do that, I wanted to
position the cursor just before the tab, which didn't work
as expected. So, this isn't the point.
The point is that the cursor doesn't move as expected,
and (after some more testing) it also does so in regular
Java code ("use tab character" on/off doesn't matter):
Ma|p<tab>m; -> Map<tab>|m;
Coming from the left, the cursor can't be placed just before
the tab.

This isn't going to solve it since tabs can be typed in
when "use tab character" is turned on in IDEA.

If the cursor movement is controlled by Swing, then I guess
IntelliJ can't do much, if it's not, it's a bug in IDEA.
