I have the exact same problem. I have experienced this issue already in Ubuntu 14.04 and it still occurs on 16.04. A fix would be very much appreciated

When I click on report problem the on one of those dialog, it takes a short moment while information is being gathered and then a second dialog pops up. If on that dialog I click submit, then the dialog disappears and nothing happens. When I then focus another f those crash report detected dialogs and try to report another problem then the second dialog never opens and instead just nothing happens.
