I decided to re-open this issue i faced recently with reference to a previous post: http://drupal.org/node/1102868 that was closed, took me a while (2days) to figure it out. I noticed that the check button "Post to twitter" would not appear while posting a status update, for Facebook_status 6.3x versions. I went into the database tables to take a closer look, and after doing some test, i figured out that the "Facebook_status_contexts" table was the culprit. Deleting all the entries in the table solved the problem, twitter check box appears and starts posting normally.

The "facebook_status_contexts" entries were created by the default views that came with the module, so i consider this a bug.

In case anyone has a problem using the 6.3x versions because of this issue, try this out: Backup your database first, then go into your database tables and manually delete the entries in the "Facebook_status_context" table, that's all, problem should be solved. If you have any views using the context filter, you may need to update them and remove the field if they display incorrectly.

The {facebook_status_contexts} table has nothing to do with the default views. It stores settings you created at admin/settings/facebook_status/contexts. You can only use the tweet functionality if you are updating your own status, not posting a status on another user or node, so your problem may have been that you had configured your contexts incorrectly such that they were becoming active in the wrong places.
