[Bug 923540] [NEW] Gwibber shortening URL even when option is unchecked

 

Public bug reported:

Hello all,
I am having a problem on Gwibber running on my machine. I use URL shortener option, however, sometimes I prefer to paste the URL without having it shortened, something like <www.uol.com.br>, which is simpler for others to understand.
Here the problem starts, even if I uncheck the option for automatically shortening and paste any URL there, it will be shortened by tinyurl or any service it is highlighted.
I also checked the config file where it reads:
<entry name="shorten_urls" mtime="1326835342" type="bool" value="false"/>

Even with that config, there is no way to paste any URL without the
shortening happening.

Can you guys have a look at it or propose any solution for the same?

BTW, I am using Ubuntu 11.10 with Gwibber 3.2.1, even after passing
through a disk formating, problem still lingers.

Tks
