the sending box always shows 140 characters, but at first it showed me the 5000 that allows me Friendica or some node of Gnusocial and then from one start to another no more.
Indeed... at the moment the length is respected only when the account is created. When you close Choqok then it's set to 140. A workaround is to edit the account (open the account details and just press save).

With commit 6ec445a74e25ec95475489f12419af90dc9592cd I disabled the wrong behaviour of resetting the limit to 140 chars. However to fix existing account we need to fetch the limit from the server for each account everytime choqok start and I'm not sure if we want to do that.
