The problem is not even just MacOS related, I have experienced similar problems on UBUNTU but in that OS the problem exist when copying from Chrome it does not exist when copying from Firefox. But in MacOS even Firefox has the same issue.If I remember correctly Windows has same issues too.
Generally speaking the workspace/Playground/Pharo should not allow the pasting of invisible / illegal characters since they would have no value to the user.
