[ubuntu-uk] Twitter fail on 12.04?

[SuperEngineer]

Am I the only one who's noticed a complete twitter fail on 12.04 apps
recently? It is a is a possibility it is a fail on my behalf but...

on 2 separate machines [desktop running 12.04 64 bit AND netbook running
12.04 32 bit there is no longer access to twitter from apps.  Access to
actual Twitter account via browser is fine - so no nasty things done to
account.

Access via Hotot or Gwibber on both machines [using latest Hotot from
ppa on desktop, version from standard repo on 32 bit] a fail. Access via
standard Cwibber also a total fail fail on both machines.

I have removed permissions directly on Twitter and reinstated but still
no access.  Hotot authorises token but fails authentication on sing in.
Gewibber can't successfully re-authorise.  All were working 100% until 3
days ago.

I'm stuck on this one as to next move - especially having thrown Mint 15
onto a spare partition and see Hotot work perfectly with no problems. I
had suspected Twitter API but the Mint vesrion is as per my 12.04 64 bit
desktop from ppa & this confuses me - unless a library/package in 12.04
is no longer compatible with / is missing / is corrupt on 2 machines at
the same time].

I’m stuck as to next next move except to report bug - which I don’t want
to do until I find I'm not the only person affected.
Suggestions [or confirmations] welcome.
