Using \t in a table in a legend is not working

Question

When you build a legend with a table in it, it is not possible to have a \t in the content.

\t will only be replaced by [TAB]. It's also not possible with \\t

With \n it is working fine. \n will be done as a newline \\n will be shown as \n.

Can be tested with the code in the next comment

end legend

Oh god, I'm getting old.
It was own original ticket :-) :-(

But end the end, the topic is not closed, there is only a workaround.
