Summary:
When I use the Safari "share" menu to share a URL to Twitter, the resulting share sheet has an incorrect character count. (Screenshots attached.)

Note that in Safari, it says I have 33 characters remaining, while the exact same content in the native Twitter app says I have 58 characters remaining. Something is gobbling up 25 characters.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a webpage in Safari 8.0.
2. Click the "Share" button.
3. Choose "Twitter".

Expected Results:
The character accurately reflects the number of available characters, which should be 140 - # of characters typed, with a link counting as 22 or 23 characters (depending on http/https). The tweet in the screenshot has 60 characters plus a trailing http link, which means 88 used characters, or 58 characters free.

Actual Results:
The Safari share sheet is counting 25 extra characters somewhere.

Version:
OS X Yosemite 10.10 b2 (14A261i)
Safari 8.0 (10538.39.41)
