[Bug 521974] [NEW] URL shortening should insert a temporary placeholder character

[Stuart Langridge]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gwibber

When pasting a URL into the post entry with url shortening turned on in
the preferences, the pasted URL does not appear; instead, nothing
appears while the upstream shortening service is contacted. This is
confusing, because it looks like nothing's happened, which encourages
you to paste the URL again. Instead, some sort of string should be
inserted to show that the paste took effect but that the URL is
currently being shortened...maybe "[url...]", or the Unicode character
U+2328 KEYBOARD (⌨) or something.
