 > Here are test builds with the patch applied. Can anybody hitting this
 issue in the wild confirm that those builds work while the currently
 released ones don't? Plus, while we are at it, can anybody test whether
 the tweetdeck login problem (aka #16540) goes away with that patch as
 well?

 Hi Geko,

 I tested the 64-bit linux builds in a new fedora 24 VM, and had mostly
 good, but slightly mixed results. I logged into a twitter account for one
 of my bots, and randomly started liking and RTing things, and RTing always
 worked, liking almost always worked.

 Liking occasionally failed, causing the like heart-emoji-thing to animate,
 and the number went up, but when checking the same tweet (logged into my
 personal account) in another Tor Browser, it showed the old number (i.e.
 before my bot account hit the like button).  I vaguely suspect that this
 is because perhaps I had let the circuit expire, since I was multitasking,
 but I'm not entirely certain. I retested again, and liking always worked,
 so perhaps there was just some user-induced fluke there.

 Overall, the behaviour is a significant improvement over the current
 stable behaviour.
