this happens when the plugin add the “RT @someuser”
Confirmed.
I can’t work out where the truncation of the text is happening… I’ve gone over the code, can’t find a reference to when the ellipsis is added to the tweet text, can’t find anywhere where the maximum length of the tweet entry is set nor where ‘RT @someuser’ is added either.
Right
The problem is with the handling of the JSON being returned by Twitter – if native retweet is being used then the responses contains the truncated version with the addition of ‘RT @someuser’ and later contains the original tweet text:
{...
"retweeted_status":
{"created_at":"Thu Dec 27 16:XX:XX +0000 2012",
"id":2843313239743XXX,
"id_str":"2843313239743XXXXX",
"text":"This is where the full and complete text of the original tweet is.............",
"source":"web",
"truncated":false,"
...
}
}
Busy for now but will look at whether this can be fixed…

I am having this exact same problem. All of the tweets that I want to publish on wordpress are retweets. All of the long tweets are rendered unusable because the posts are truncated. Has a solution been found?
This patch fixes the problem for me.
