Don't show the select text to share. Show only the URL config on fb:ID and not the select text of page.

Thank you for the great tool.

Had the same issue. This script uses facebooks share dialgue which is only meant for sharing URL's and other opengraph posts (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/share-dialog). The Feed dialogue however supports sharing text snippets, which is what we are looking for (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/feed-dialog/v2.3).

I changed it to this instead (line 234):

var url = 'https://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?' + 'app_id='+self.appId + '&display=popup'+ '&caption='+encodeURIComponent(text)+ '&link='+encodeURIComponent(self.url2share)+ '&href='+encodeURIComponent(self.url2share)+ '&redirect_uri='+encodeURIComponent(self.url2share);

This fixed it for me.
