What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start typing a post
2. Make the post longer than 140 characters
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should tell me how many characters over the limit I've gone. Instead it
stops counting once I'm over the limit.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Attached is proposed patch. Beyond what is suggested above, the counter changes color to red when it's over 
the limit.

The color change is governed by the p.error class in screen.css. Unfortunately, it needs !important to work in this 
case. Since I don't know the effect of this change, perhaps I should add a new class instead?

One thing that would make these kinds of patches easier for people to think about is
if you deployed an instance of JE. That way other people could see the effects of
your patches on a variety of different operatings & browsers.

In the meantime I'll try this out on openku.appspot later today and append a
screenshot to this issue.

I'll see if I can't get a JE instance running with the information you've posted over the last couple of days.

In the meantime, here's a screenshot: http://skitch.com/lemonad/be81t/jaikuengine-proposed-patch-for-
