Hi, 

I've encountered an odd bug in pgAdmin 4 (tested on 1.6 and 2.0) on MacOS (in 
my case Sierra 10.12.6): 
when copying something to clipboard from a field in a table it begins with a 
char that isn't printed in most editors (including the popup when 
double-clicking the cell in the table to copy the string from). Neither in 
Notepad++ (with "show all characters" enabled), Sublime nor Intellij IDEA. In 
vim it shows up as <feff> and on the regular bash shell as a space - apparently 
it doesn't appear to happen on Windows and I just accidently shot several of my 
configs when I copy/pasted to a config of some java app that tried to open a 
connection to an OpenFire chatserver (in the logs of OpenFire i showed up 
during login as "???username“ rather than just "username“ )..
I’m guessing this is related to some encoding since googling suggested <feff> 
is a BOM (byte-order mark) - i’m not sure this is intended behavior but i may 
be wrong.

Greetings,

Jan
