This bug is caused by the lack of native retweet support, which is discussed in other bug reports such as: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/500927 https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/544495
Another Twitter client called Hotot ( https://launchpad.net/hotot ) has solved these issues by introducing two ways of retweeting; The old style (which allows editing, adding comments etc.) and the new native style, which bypasses the 140 char limit when retweeting. Gwibber would surely benefit from a similar feature. -- 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: New Bug description: I recieved a tweet that had a bit.ly link in it...
