Description Patrick 2012-08-30 16:53:56 UTC 
Whenever a tweet contains "&" character, choqok mis-renders/converts it to the string "&amp;".  If you send a tweet containing the ampersand when it shows up among the tweets, it too is converted to the above string.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send or download any tweet containing an ampersand
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Always renders it erroneously as the string "&amp;"

Expected Results:  
Simply show "&", the ampersand

I've uploaded a patch that fixes this. There was no replacing going on inside twitterapihelper.cpp, so I altered that.
