I highlight text, click on insert/edit file, choose a file, choose to show the icon, set the target to new window, and then click insert. The icon appears and the text is underlined in the editor. I toggle to source code and the link is correctly formed and pointing to the file.

I save and open the article on the front end. Now the text isn't underlined and the icon is now a link to the current article.

If I click on that icon the page reloads, and the icon and text are now both links to the article, everything is correct.

I have tried this in chrome, firefox, and explorer and the results are the same each time.

Thoughts?
It seems that module parameters haven't been configured properly. Please make sure that you are using a valid twitter username, and that you have inserted the correct keys. Detailed instructions are written in the module settings page.
