Tab-formatting failure: First tab after an ANSI code is only 1 char long instead of 8

[Ecconia]

Issue:

• A properly aligned tab which should have its maximum allowed tabwidth is only 1 char long, when its after an ANSI code. Following tabs will fix this issue.

Expected behavior:

• A tab which is properly aligned should have its maximum allowed tablwidth, no matter if its after an ANSI code.

Confirmation:

• Expected behavior can be confirmed by simply running failing code in any common linux terminal.

Testcase:

• Simple test to cause the behavior. In this case the tabwidth is 8 chars. The first tab will be 1 char long. The second tab behaves normal again and has a proper width (7 chars) to jump back into the normal tab-grid again.
  System.out.println("\033[93m\t\t<");

Ansi Console Version: 1.3.5.201612301822
Eclipse:

• Version: 2019-09 R (4.13.0)
• Build id: 20190917-1200

I don't see any problem.

I've tried this:

	System.out.println("\t\t<");
    	System.out.println("\033[93m\t\t<"); // the line from the bug report
    	System.out.println("\t\t<");
    	System.out.println("\033[m\t\t<");
    	System.out.println("123456789012345678901234567890");

I get this:

		<
		<     => this one is yellow
		<     => this one is yellow
		<
123456789012345678901234567890

The only difference is (I think) Eclipse, I am on:
Version: 2018-12 (4.10.0)
Build id: 20181214-0600
I will install 20190917-1200 to try it.

Other info (not sure if relevant or not): Windows 10, and Eclipse with Dark theme.

I am using dark theme. Am running Ubuntu

Darn...
I can see it in Version: 2019-09 R (4.13.0) (Build id: 20190917-1200)
:-(

Although I doubt there is much I can do...
This is Eclipse braking things.
This worked just fine since 2012, Eclipse 3.8 :-(

I'll try some more things, and then probably file a bug against Eclipse...

Thanks for investigating it, I should have tested it on my other older eclipse too.

I also looked into your code and that certainly looks like it's not at fault.

For now I am using a workaround so I am fine. I better get rid of that version of eclipse by upgrade or downgrade.
