Bug Description

1. Trigger an error.
2. Choose "Show Details".
3. Expand all the branches.

What you see: Many of the branches have contents that can only ever be one very short line. For example:
- ProblemType: crash
- ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6
- Architecture: amd64
- CrashCounter: 1
- Date: Fri Nov16 21:19:00 2012

What you should see: Lines of this form are grouped as a key-value table at the start of the report, before the expandable tree section.

This would make screenshots like <http://imgur.com/LCNCA> more informative.
