Public bug reported:
I already reported this once, but I'm doing it again, because I think it
was closed for the wrong reasons. You can leave it as won't fix or
wishlist, but please don't remove the report - I will try to get enough
people to "me too" this to show that it's a missed feature.
The "report problem" option doesn't exist any more under the various
applications' help menu for stable releases. The feature would start
apport in the backend and find out what package is resonsible for the
current application.
Expected - this should be available in stable releases too. There are
many developers (such as me), who don't use alpha or beta versions, but
would still like to report bugs in Ubuntu in a user friendly manner.
Reporting bugs using the terminal is simply not nice, because I don't
know the name of every package-application mapping (evince-"Document
Viewer", baobab-"Disk Usage Analyser" (I honestly just found this second
one out, I have to spend my time looking for this)). Especially when
there is already a feature ready to do this, but it's intentionally
deactivated.
I hope this feature gets readded for Raring.
