Title:
apport question will not accept multi-character responses
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
the newly added cloud-init apport support shows a list of cloud
providers and asks the user to select one. There are currently 18
options. For any option > 10, apport will just take the '1' that is
typed as the answer.
It should obviously wait for more than one character or a carriage
return.
