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)"

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.
