I keep forgetting about this issue when trying to trim down posts to fit.

Here's an example of a post where I ended up with either 0 or 1 characters left.

I noticed I missed a character and went to edit it, wondering if I could even fit that character in.

However, this is how many characters I had left in the web version (since edit isn't yet in the app):

Looking into this!

Is there any update on this? Just had someone point out this bug and it seems quite a major difference from the web experience.

This bug would promote the use of link shorteners, which would harm people's privacy.

I opened #669 which should fix this issue, but it has not been merged yet.

Any idea when it might make it into the app?

Do we have an ETA on this?
