JavaFX violation when entering Tab character in TextField

The JavaFX Application Thread throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsExceptionif the user inserts a tab character in TextField. How can I safely prevent a user from violating my application in this way?

Here is a minimal example demonstrating behavior.

//Defined in Main.java
public class Main extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        try {
            AnchorPane root = (AnchorPane) FXMLLoader
                    .load(getClass().getResource("MainView.fxml"));
            primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root));
            primaryStage.show();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

Defined in MainView.fxml:

<AnchorPane xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1">
    <children>
        <TextField fx:id="tf" />
    </children>
</AnchorPane>

Procedure:

  • Copy tab character ( \t) to clipboard
  • Enter something in TextField
  • Highlight text in TextField
  • Paste the contents of the clipboard to replace the selected text

An exception occurs if the user uses a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + V on Windows) or a context menu. Of course, I could add a try-catch block for everyone TextField, but it would clutter up the code, and how do I know that this exception is raised only in this situation?
