Longer retweets are being truncated

I’ve patched my version of the plugin with this code:

In widget.php:

$tweets_array = array();
for($i = 0;$i <= count($tweets); $i++){
    if(!empty($tweets[$i])){
        $tweets_array[$i]['created_at'] = $tweets[$i]->created_at;

        //clean tweet text
        if(isset($tweets[$i]->retweeted_status) && isset($tweets[$i]->retweeted_status->id)){
            $tweets_array[$i]['text'] = sprintf('RT @%s: %s', $tweets[$i]->retweeted_status->user->screen_name, $tweets[$i]->retweeted_status->text);
        }
        else{
            $tweets_array[$i]['text'] = $tweets[$i]->text;
        }

        $tweets_array[$i]['text'] = preg_replace('/[\x{10000}-\x{10FFFF}]/u', '', $tweets_array[$i]['text']);

        if(!empty($tweets[$i]->id_str)){
            $tweets_array[$i]['status_id'] = $tweets[$i]->id_str;
        }
    }
}
