Bug Description
apport 2.5.2-0ubuntu4, Ubuntu Q
1. Cause something to crash in such a way that the crash report is extremely large. Simulate this by putting <https:/
What happens: An error alert appears after several minutes.
What should happen: An error alert appears after no more than a few seconds.
Currently Apport processes a crash report completely before the error alert appears. It could instead put up the error alert immediately before the report has finished processing, based solely on the process ID. The Details pane of an error alert already includes a spinner if the report hasn't finished processing yet.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
