This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.0.1-0ubuntu8
---------------
apport (2.0.1-0ubuntu8) precise-proposed; urgency=low
* apport-{gtk,kde}: Do not show the information collection progress dialog
if the crash database does not accept this kind of report. In that case
whoopsie will upload it in the background and the dialog is not necessary.
Patch cherry-picked from trunk. (LP: #989698)

Title:
Data collection progress window is still appearing post-release
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “apport” source package in Precise:
Fix Released
Bug description:
apport 2.0.1-0ubuntu6, Ubuntu 12.04
1. Encounter a crash.
2. When the error alert appears, check "Send an error report to help fix this
problem", and choose "Continue".
What happens: A progress window appears.
What should happen: No progress window.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker#details>: "If you choose to send
an error report, the alert should disappear immediately. Data should
be collected (if it hasn’t been already), and reports should be sent
in the background, with *no* progress or success/failure feedback."
It is okay for the data collection process to be interactive pre-
release, but it is not okay for it to be interactive post-release. And
with no interaction involved, it is not useful to show progress for
something that you gain no benefit from waiting for.
(This does not apply to manual reporting, e.g. using the ubuntu-bug
command.)
