Summary: wxSTC doesn't except IME input

Initial Comment:
Using an IME (input method editor) to input non latin text such as Japanese into a wxSTC does not work too well on OSX.

The IME opens and all character input is directed into it but the STC swallows all non character input such as BACKSPACE and ENTER.

By swallowing backspace it is not possible to backup and fix mistakes in the IME's input buffer.

By swallowing Enter it is impossible to finalize the text in the IME, meaning that it cannot be transfered from the IME's input buffer to the stc window, rendering it useless.

wxMAC seems to process the key events properly from the IME and it is usable in other controls, just not the STC.

I also did some cross testing on windows and this issue does not exist there.

I did some brief looking through the wxSTC's platform code and noticed there was a special case on wxMAC for handling focus related issues with the autocomp listcontrol and event handling, may or may not be a similar issue with the IME's MiniFrame that it opens its input buffer in.
