Title:
  only shorten urls if there is not enough space

Status in Gwibber:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  most probably prefer to have not-shorted url if there is enough space
  available.

  at best gwibber would shorten url as-you-type, meaning, once you type
  and there is not enough space it would shorten the first url, then the
  second, etc.

  To prevent acquiring shortened urls even though they are not needed in
  the end (user might remove text before sending), gwibber could replace
  urls with a placeholder as you type and get a real shorted URL only
  when actually sending the message.

  Of course this would require some info about how long shorted urls are
  for a given url shortening service, but i think that shouldnt be a big
  problem.
