[Bug 522986] [NEW] gwibber restricts facebook status messages to 140 characters

[Anand Kumria]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gwibber


1)

eve:[~]% lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
Release:	10.04
eve:[~]% apt-cache policy gwibber

2)

gwibber:
  Installed: 2.29.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.29.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.29.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com lucid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
eve:[~]% 

3)

I have both Twitter and Facebook configured as broadcast account
destinations. With only Twitter, or both, enabled there is a 140
characters count-down on the right hand side of the entry panel.

If only Facebook is selected, this does not make any sense (now) as
Facebook does not limit the entered broadcast message.

4)

The 140 character countdown is displayed.
