Summary: wxSTC clipboard text still has trailing ascii 0

Initial Comment:
As of wxPython 2.5.4.1, the clipboard text on the Mac still contains 
an ASCII 0 which is a problem when attempting to paste text copied 
from wxSTC into Mail, Terminal, or any other Mac application. Did 
anyone ever come up with a workaround for this on the Mac? At one 
point, I thought there was a suggestion to put at least two different 
types of clipboard text objects into the clipboard, so that wxSTC on 
the Mac would be able to get its trailing ascii 0 or modify the 
clipboard functions for wxSTC on the Mac to automatically append a 
zero.

I've rewritten the clipboard and d&d code to use the pasteboard APIs in
2.8, and there shouldn't be any trailing zero datas anymore on the native
clipboard

Thanks,

Steafn

This is a ping about this bug report. I spoke with Robin and he said the
bug 
should be noticeable by the need to backspace twice before actually
deleting a 
character. I don't see that problem in wxPython 2.6.3.3. If this is not
fixed, could 
you let me know a way to reproduce the issue?

Stefan,

I think this happens because wxTextDataObject::GetDataSize
is adding 1 to the size.  the attached patch fixes it for
me, but I don't know if this is the right way to take care
of it.

Ah, wait a minute...  I think I do see the problem, even
with my change.  For example, in the TextEdit app after
pasting something that was copied in a wx app, then you need
to press the cursor keys twice to get past the hidden null
bute at the end of the pasted string, right?

I couldn't duplicate the manifestation of the problem, but I
did find that wxSTC was adding an extra byte to the string
to be put in the clipboard.  So I've trimmed that off and
checked in the new code.
