This change silently deletes user input.

LibreOffice still allows inserting literal TAB characters at the beginning of a
paragraph. However, when pressing Enter the TAB character is removed
automatically.

This creates data loss and inconsistent editor behavior.

If leading tabs are considered bad practice, the editor should either:
1. convert them to paragraph indentation
2. warn the user
3. provide a compatibility option

Silently deleting characters that the user explicitly inserted is unexpected
behavior and was not present in 25.8.3.2.

Therefore this should be considered a regression or at least require a
compatibility option.
