Selecting the tab-preceding text includes the tab

This screen capture of the demonstration test file shows that successfully
selecting the last character before the "cat|tle" tab  produces a selection
that ends with the cursor at the beginning of the next line.  This is
conceptually in front of the tab, which is what causes the "tle" to be
intended.

This is an odd case.  For tabs in the middle of words that do not cause part of
the word to go to a new line, there is a separate wide space that corresponds
to the tab-induced separator between the separated parts of the word.  That
separating "space" is independently selectable.  In this odd case, the
tab-induced spacing is revealed as the indentation of the second line.

Note that this much, by itself, would not be a significant defect, if the
selection was really "cat" (i.e., everything actually in the text, up to the
but not including the inserted tab.  But there's more ...

Demonstrated here also with AOO 4.1.2 on Windows 10.  The same behavior is
exhibited with LibreOffice 5.0, indicating that this is a very old behavior
that has been in the code base for many years.
