Yes, very annoying bug.

Same problem on 11.04. Same problem for all backends: Twitter, Facebook,
Buzz, Identica, etc.

Maybe add a separate list view, or something, where sent but not yet
posted messages can be buffered? Or simply block all new input (preserve
text in field) until confirmation of successful post?

Title:
  MESSAGE IS LOST if send to Twitter fails

Status in Gwibber:
  New

Bug description:
  IT IS VERY IMPORTANT BUG THAT LEADS TO DATALOSS

  It is often happening when typed message sent to Twitter is LOST.

  Reproduce steps:
  1) Type the message into the field
  2) Click "Send" button
  3) Field is ERASED
  4) Message appears NOWHERE

  That is very bad situation because text field is emptied and you
  cannot send it again.

  What I except to have:
  1) Message stays in text field until we confirm that Twitter received that (pull from Twitter until we have it in my tweets?)
  2) Some sort of error message appear explaining why the sent was broken
  3) Clicking "Send" button sends message again

  P.S. Last time I have this bug I found that message was published on
  Twitter but not appeared in my messages list. All previous times
  message was just lost.

  Versions:
  Ubuntu 10.10
  gwibber 2.32.0.2-0ubuntu1
