"Cannot connect to crash database, please check your Internet
connection." is improvable in two ways. First, it's a run-on sentence.
And second, the bug tracker is not a crash database. Error reports are
sent to a database, but if you're offline they're queued silently, so
this alert doesn't apply to that. This is just about bug reports sent to
the bug tracker.

I suggest: "You can’t report a bug right now because there is no
Internet connection. Do you want to save the report for later?" Make the
alert disappear automatically if the Internet becomes connected while
it's open.

Separately, you'd need a UI to list previously saved reports and submit
a selected report, and an access point for displaying that list. The
"Bugs" pane of the Contributor Console
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributorConsole> would be one possible home
for the list.
