how to enable tab key as input in textArea if it is on a tab

[nagyjano]

Hi,

I am new to Qt and qml.
I want to write a simple code editor.
My problem is that if I use TextArea on a Tab than its no longer processes tab key as an input but rather it just switch focus to the "next" qml object.
Here is a simple sample code.

Window {
    visible: true
 
    TabView
    {
        id: tmptv
        anchors.fill: parent
        Tab {
            id: tmptab
            title: "tmp1"
            active: true
            sourceComponent: TextArea {
                anchors.fill: parent
            }
        }
    }
}

Window {
    visible: true

    TabView
    {
        id: tmptv
        anchors.fill: parent
        Tab {
            id: tmptab
            title: "tmp1"
            active: true
            sourceComponent: TextArea {
                anchors.fill: parent
            }
        }
    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I think the problem is about that the tab key input somehow not propagated toward TextArea instead it is processed by the Tab.
Any suggestion how to make it possible to accept tab key in this case as input for code editing?
Thanks in advance!

Very strange behavior indeed, could be a bug in TextArea.

But it works with TextEdit.
