Public bug reported: When posting new messages, the character limit does not take the active services into account. E.g., when having twitter disabled and only posting to facebook, the limit of 140 characters is still applied.
Gwibber had the same bug, it is bug #522986. But in Friends this is somehow more severe, as Gwibber allowed to post over-length entries, so one could ignore the 140 limit for facebook-only posts. In Friends, one cannot post entries that exceed the limit.
