Bug Description

Binary package hint: gwibber

With the current "auto" shortening system the lag time between pasting and shortening often give the impression that something has broken, and attempts to re-paste the URL may happen which will only increase lag. Additionally, having it be an optional button (or checkbox) available during post times would allow you to post a URL that you don't necessarily want shortened--because the URL itself is the tweet or has meaning.

I've also (due to the lag) posted tweets with the "keyboard" glyph in the tweet rather than the URL--this should at the very least be prevented, though there may be times when people want to post that glyph.

Thanks for considering this change.
