Description Roman Zimmermann 2011-10-04 08:41:36 UTC

Version:           1.1 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

Recently I've changed the character limit on my self-hosted status.net service from 140 to 300. But choqok doesn't pick up that change. So far I've tried:
 * Restarting choqok
 * Refreshing the timeline
 * Reconfiguring the account

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start typing a new status message and look at the character count-down. Type a message longer than 140 characters and try to submit it.

Actual Results:  
It's always counting down from 140. Choqok denies sending the message.

Expected Results:  
It should count down from 300 (or whatever is the configured limit on the server) and allow me to send messages up to that limit.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.38-tuxonice-r2
Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc

I still see it counting down from 140 on Twitter even though the limit was increased to 280.

Ivan, this will be fixed in version 1.7, please see bug 370260 for the patch.
