It's not a problem.  It's doing exactly what you are telling it to do.

Here you are crating a menu item with Tab as an accelerator...

...and you are binding that menu event to the OnTab method...

...which writes a tab character to the text control.  So whenever you 
press Tab while any control within the frame has the focus it is going 
to activate the accelerator and call OnTab.
