Here's a possible solution to the bug. It seems that most twitter clients place the original tweet into the stream, instead of the retweet; they simply cite the user that did the retweeting.
Note: in the attached change to ui/templates/base.mako I use the full web url of the retweeter's feed. This should probably be changed to a link within gwibber to that user's stream. ** Patch added: "In case of a retweet, instead place original tweets in stream (and cite the retweeter)" https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/546556/+attachment/1792243/+files/retweet.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Gwibber Bug Heros, which is subscribed to Gwibber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546556 Title: Links Truncated Status in Gwibber: Won't Fix Bug description: I recieved a tweet that had a bit.ly link in it... The link was shortened by a few characters ( ... ) but when clicking on the link in gwibber... It sent me to the shortened address. Here is the tweet as viewed at twitter.com: NHL Devils N.J. Devil is the only @NHL mascot left in ESPN's Mascot Madness - please RT and vote if you love hockey. http://bit.ly/aIChT2 But viewed in gwibber the end of the link was shortened to http://bit.ly/a Which took me to apple.com.
