** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/968236 Title: No Copy/Paste Functionality && No Bug Information Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Two Complaints: 1.) When apport creates a summary, prior to sending the information, there is no copy/paste functionality in the summary window. Please remedy this. There are times when I would like to send information to third parties, but the lack of copy/paste functionality can make the task tedious and onerous. 2.) When a bug has "already been reported", apport doesn't provide any information as to the bug # or identity. This makes finding further information about the bug (or even identifying which bug one is experiencing) difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain by some users.
