[Martinique <546556@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

Title:
  Links Truncated

Status in Gwibber:
  New

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.
