Facebook status update prepended with "is"

[Michael B. Trausch]

Binary package hint: gwibber

Starting sometime recently, Gwibber in Ubuntu 10.10 started prepending the word "is" to all posts going to Facebook.

This is an annoying change in user-visible functionality. I wasn't keeping close track of updates, so I don't know when it happened, but I noticed it recently. My status updates just don't make sense with that there, and I don't see any way to disable it in Gwibber.
