@Alan, is this issue still affecting you using latest version of gwibber? Thanks in advance.

[Alan Lord (theopensourcerer)]

Hi Kamus,

No, I am now using the Gwibber daily builds from the PPA currently at version 2.29.91.

I don't recall having any problems with the main gwibber package but I replaced it as the UI in the main version was not very good and lacked polish. The new PPA version is much nicer :-)

@Alan, that's great. we will mark this report as fixed for now because is solved in newer versions. Thanks in advance!
