Weird treatment of backslashes in tweets

[lucaswerkmeister]

Tweet the following:

( \(
n \(
" \"
t \t
u03b1 \u03b1
\ \\

When the timeline refreshes, the tweet will appear as:

( (
n (
" "
t 
u03b1 α
\

(The backslash at the end comes from the \\, not the \ .)

However, the tweet displays correctly in your “User Profile” window, and also displays correctly if you restart Turpial, so it appears this only happens when updating the timeline with new tweets.
