I can't confirm this issue.

If this is happening with text pasted from Notepad then this is how such text is seen by browser: tab0<br>&nbsp;tab1<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;tab2<br>&nbsp;tab1<br>tab0 Consecutive white spaces are pasted as one.

If this is happening when copying HTML from website then assuming that tabs are made with margin-left, please make sure that ACF is configured correctly.

Where is that tabbed text copied from? Please attach sample file. Please also provide a screen cast showing how to reproduce this problem in CKEditor demo.

Thank you for the clarification. Unfortunatelly there is nothing we can do here.

This is broswer sees it ans since CKEditor gest data processed by a brwoser there is no workaround we can provide. This is what IE11 sees (nad this is what CKEditor pastes):

&nbsp;tab1<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;tab2<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tab3<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;tab2<br>&nbsp;tab1
