Thanks! It's nice to see a fix.
In the meantime, many Japanese users are making creative use of this bug in a cute fashion. Some might even miss having this bug ;-) – mehori, on November 05, 2009 00:12

Some people tweeted me that there seems to be more to this bug.

It is not the last part of the tweet that get duplicated, but rather the last kana-kanji conversion that gets duplicated.

So if a user goes back a few cursors and add some Japanese kana-kanji converted text in the middle of a tweet, that part becomes duplicated.

For example, Japanese for "Test" is "試験" but we cannot type this directly
with the keyboard so we type the kana pronunciation "しけん" and convert
it to the corresponding kanji character "試験".

For some reason, Tweetie2 paste both pre-converted text and post-converted text into the tweet so it looks something like "しけん試験".

Why this happens only in the last kana-kanji conversion is beyond my speculation.

Hope this information is helpful in nailing the bug!

To be more specific, when a Japanese tweet is posted, the last few characters becomes duplicated. So when a user posts a tweet like:

日本語のメッセージです。

Tweetie2 duplicates the last part and the tweet goes out like this:

日本語のメッセージです。です。

The number of characters duplicated seems to be anywhere around 2 to 5 characters (in 2 bytes), but I cannot be sure.

There are reports that if you put two spaces at the end of your tweet, you can work around this bug, but that is too much trouble.

Other than this bug, Tweetie2 is an excellent app.
Hope this is fixed soon!

It takes a LOT of shaking to even delete a single data!
Please consider the following.

I only used weightbot for a two weeks when I first installed it, forgot about the app, and started using it again recently.

I really want to continue using it to motivate myself to lose weight, but because there are about a dozen data about a year ago that is lingering, the weight graph always shows a increasing trend (yeah, I put on a kilograam or so...) even though I am doing a good job in the past three weeks or so. This puts me off from using the app.

All I want to do is delete the data from the very FAR past so that it doesn't get in the way of how I am doing recently.

Requiring to shake the iPhone so many times for a trivial interaction is not good UI, meaning, "User Interaction" with the application.

All this shaking maybe an exercise in itself ;-), and it may be cool, but there should be an alternative way of doing that.
