Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

Ubuntu Feisty

1. Choose "Report a Bug[...]" from the Help menu in any program that contains such an item.
2. When the "Uploading Problem Information" window appears, click "Cancel".

What should happen: The window disappears, and nothing further happens.
What actually happens: The button click is ignored, and eventually a browser opens a page you didn't want.

Note to self: Linux' thread API does not have a way to kill a thread. However, let's try with sending a kill -9 to the entire application. Quite brutal, but might be the only way that actually works.

Ah, much easier than that, just a wrong signal handler name.

   * bin/apport: Move check for ignoring SIGABRT below the core dump file
     writing for non-packaged binaries. (LP: #92029)
   * gtk/apport-gtk.glade:
     - Remove titles from the progress windows to comply with Gnome HIG and not
       repeat the text content.

   * gtk/apport-gtk{,.glade}: Fix signal handler name of the Cancel button in
