What is the issue with the HTML Standard?

I hope this the right place to report what I believe to be a bug.
If not, please help me to reach the right place.
Thank you in advance.

In a form, using <textarea> tag indented with tabs
causes those tabs to be entered like a "value %09" in the textarea box.

If I put the <textarea> tag on the full left, the problem disappear.

What should be is :
leave the textarea box free for the placeholder content.

I have tried with a tens of different browsers. 100% reproducible.
( yet not tried with [:space:] instead [:tab:] )
( yet not tried with <textarea> outside a form)

Since that definitely does not depend upon any of the web browser tested (a tens of them), I solution it might be how the tag <textarea> is read ...

Many thank for your work.

Kindest regards
