1. Write a 280 char tweet w/spaces
2. ctrl+a, ctrl+x
3. ctrl+v
4. Tweet becomes 283 to 284 chars
This is consistently reproducible for me in FF.

I wouldn't be so quick to blame Twitter. Many bugs wrt spacing and c&p ended up being browser bugs when we dug in (cf https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=318925 …)

HTML spacing rules are complex. Any editing surface that treats the HTML as the "data model" is vulnerable to this issue. It's a problem for both native and JS impls.
