#4542 (ok 4.2.10) Tab key in column name not shown

[Karl Dietmann]

The Tab Stop is not shown in a column name in the structure view of a table. If the column name is "edited" the tab stop is visible. Very hard to find error.

Eg:
Column name: [tab]xyz
Shown name in structural overview: xyz

try

INSERT INTO foo (xyz) VALUES ('1')

will bring you back the error that the column xyz is not in the field-list.

In the structure view, we are using a label tag which does not show characters like tabs and spaces (at least, leading spaces).
When editing a column, we are using an input tag which shows the tab.
It's better to keep the label tag for a well-formed HTML.

What I could do is replace non-printable characters with a special character.

Please comment.
