I don't think this is a bug. It is just that bash uses tab for the complete operation. It doesn't matter whether the tab is pressed on the keyboard or pasted into the command line.

I have confirmed that this behaviour occurs on linux as well, and I uncommented some tracing in the Terminal app and saw that Terminal was handling the tab character correctly. Another way to see that tab is being handled correctly is that command line completion is working in Terminal.

I see you point. Yes, you are right about linux, i tested in gnome's terminal and the tabs are vanished also after paste; i still find a bit annoying. If none is annoyed by this behavior, i assume the ticket can be closed. Thanks for looking into this.
