Bug Description

Binary package hint: gwibber

That is VERY IMPORTANT issue. I face it every time I use gwibber and it leads to dataloss every time!!!

Bug is that you cannot undo your changes in message field when you type in the message!

Reproduce steps:
1) Open gwibber
2) Start typing new message
3) Accidentally select some text (let's say by touchpad)
4) Type one more letter
5) See that your text is erased
6) See that you CANNOT undo this stupid change (have stupid dataloss)

What I expected (as in ordinary programs):
1) By pressing "Ctrl-Z" inside the field I undo my previous change. By "Ctrl-Y" or "Ctrl-Shift-Z" I redo my next change.
2) By pressing right mouse button on the field I see "Undo" and "Redo" items in menu that have corresponding actions
3) In menu of program in Edit section I see "Undo" and "Redo" items in menu that have corresponding actions

P.S. That's one of examples when developers use non-standard text field that is missing KEY functionality. Please use standard text field + some additional overlay for showing chars count.

Verrsions:
Ubuntu 10.10
gwibber 2.32.0.2-0ubuntu1
