Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Compile and run the following code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">

<s:Group>
<s:RichText tabStops="100 200 300">
<s:content>
<s>Col 1<s:tab/>Col 2<s:tab/>Col 3<s:tab/>Col 4</s>
</s:content>
</s:RichText>
</s:Group>

</s:Application>

Actual Results: The tab stops are not at 100 pixels, 200 pixels and 300 pixels. If you compile the same application in an older 4.x SDK, then, the stops looks correct.

Expected Results: Tab stops should be at 100, 200 and 300

Workaround (if any):
Instead of setting the <content> property, set the <textFlow> property to a <TextFlow> object and set the tabStops on the TextFlow instead:

<s:RichText>
<s:textFlow>
<s:TextFlow tabStops="100 200 300">
<s>Col 1<s:tab/>Col 2<s:tab/>Col 3<s:tab/>Col 4</s>
</s:TextFlow>
</s:textFlow>
</s:RichText>
