Microblogging plugin truncates tags that have blanks

[paux]

If a tag containing blanks, e.g. "some tag", is applied to an article that is announced via the Microblogging plugin, it gets the hashtag "#someag", omitting the blank PLUS the next letter.

Here's an example of a tweet where "cell phone" became "#cellhone": http://bit.ly/6GzVzQ
It links to this blog entry that is tagged "cell phone": http://7ax.de/0dof

There are no error messages appearing. Tell me whether I can give you more detailed info.
Versions: S9y 1.3.1 from Debian Lenny, Microblogging 1.18, Apache2/MySQL from Debian Lenny.

Hi!

I can't really reproduce this. Do you use the tags from the freetag plugin, or the tags by the microblogging plugin? What is your twitter anounce string -- or even better, the whole configuration of the microblogging plugin, and what exactly you enter when creating an entry, and which other plugins are involved.

Thanks,
Garvin

Oh sorry, I didn't mention the Freetag plugin at all. I indeed use Freetag tags, and not those from Microblogging itself.

On the plugins page, Microblogging is listed right above Freetag--should their order be reversed?
@Freetag: I announce to identi.ca, announce format "blogged: #title# #link# #tags#", Announce with tags Yes.

When creating an entry, there's the Freetag section in the Advanced options, and in the example I mentioned above there's the string "android,cell phone,google,hardware,review" and the tag "cell phone" works perfectly within the blog. The microblogging section is listed above the freetag section, maybe due to their order on the plugins page? The tag input field is empty there.

Hi!

Okay, that clears up some things. I'll try to setup an installation with your settings and hope to be able to reproduce that.

I don't think the order of plugins should be interfering; the plugin draws its inputs from the $_POST array.

Hi,

as a followup and workaround: I now just tag my posts twice, once with freetag for within my blog, and twice for the announcing tweet. It turned out that I only want to use the most important tags for the tweets.
