As I did it already quite a few times, I run "ubuntu-bug -w", get a message that I can select the window of the app I want to report a bug about after closing this message. I close the message with a click on the appropriate button. I click on the window of the application "Studio Controls" that I want to report a bug about. Nothing happens. I wait for a few minutes. Still nothing happens. In the console where I started ubuntu-bug -w I see the following message: (apport-gtk:11537): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 20:06:41.384: gdk_wayland_window_set_dbus_properties_libgtk_only: assertion 'GDK_IS_WAYLAND_WINDOW (window)' failed - What I expect: Usaully when I use this procedure, after a relatively short while a new message window pops up asking me if the bug should be reported and showing me the data that is sent to Launchpad. I tried other applications, too, same effect.
