InputBox doesn't hadle paste action correctly

[Allan Chain]

I have copied letter'e' from elsewhere.When I pressed C-v , some number appeared,not the letter.
And i found this in sgc/widget/_interface/text.py:

text = [str(char) for char in text]

this probably doesn't run well,it returns a list of numbers.
BTW,on Windows,there're '\x00' in clipboard text sometimes,which pygame can't render properly.
Hope this can be fixed as well.

I don't seem to be able to paste from another app at all in Pygame (on Linux), so I guess that's not been properly tested.

Where is that line of code? I can't find it in the mentioned file...

Maybe also check if it's not something wrong with Pygame. Copy something from another app first, then run:

    print(pygame.scrap.get(SCRAP_TEXT))

It should output what you copied. If not, register a bug against Pygame.

Ah, I figured it out. You're looking at the py3 version, which wasn't written by me.

So, at first look, if you change that line to:

    text = list(text.decode())

That should then work. I'll make sure the py3 version is updated and working for the next release (whenever I get around to working on it again).

print(pygame.scrap.get(SCRAP_TEXT)) works fine on windows.
thanks
