Pasting into scripting console results in different text

[Adam Wolf]

On OS X KiCad 4.0.2, I pasted the following text into the scripting console of pcbnew:

import pcbnew

It pasted:

浩潰瑲瀠扣敮w

This seems to be due to how wxwidgets handles the clipboard and will probably require a wxwidgets patch to fix up. Including making the clipboard handling native

Based on https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/commit/73fca4c37d1ee2e9e495aaa68442cdfcb4243b52 i tested it and it no longer pastes as utf-16 into the scripting console.

there is a patch for this, but it requires patching wxwidgets, This patch is currently included in the kicad distribution but is/was not part of the nightlies that are released by the project. This should be resolved for the 8-8-2017 nightly (thanks Chris)
