[Bug 137687] [NEW] "apport" automatic bug-reporting system doesn't (apparently) let you see what it reports to launchpad

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Kubuntu gutsy has this nice feature that if something crashed on
startup, logout or adept-upgrade, there will be a dialog box appearing
(apport?) , that lets you automatically file info about the crash to
launchpad.

Wanting to be a "good citizen", I occasionally clicked yes on this, and
went through with reporting the problem. However, apart from the
subject, it doesn't let you see _what_ it reports... Most notably, the
actual output (DpkgTerminalLog.gz etc.) is not easily visible, and so
you've got no way of deciding whether what you are reporting is actually
a bug, or is rather due to some local circumstances. I've been bitten by
this on bug #137442 .

Would it be possible to add a possibility to "view attachment" that is
available before "Submit Bug Report"?
