materials#current not in sync with GUI on Mac

[Fredosixx]

on Mac, when you change the current material in the Material browser dialog, the method materials.current does not return the changed material. It is only when applied to an entity that the material is considered current.

This is inconsistent with Windows, where materials.current is always in sync with the material browser dialog.

Similarly, and probably due to the same issue, the materials observer does not fire the onMaterialSetCurrent event on Mac, whereas it does on Windows

I don't know if this has been logged already in this GitHub database, but this is an old bug, still present in SU2022. Basically, on Mac, the API has no way to know which material will be applied before it is applied.
