Public bug reported: I experienced a crash bug in Ubiquity, which triggered a handy apport popup. Upon submitting a report, another dialog appeared saying "Problem already known:"
"This problem was already reported in the bug report displayed in the web browser. Please check if you can add any further information that might be helpful for the developers." The web browser opened to this page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/727842 For me (and most people), that is an unhelpful, very wrong looking error page, presumably because the bug report is being treated as a security issue. It looks thoroughly broken, and a user is unable to follow any of the directions previously given by Apport. He would be much better served either filing a new bug report or having Apport kindly instruct him to go away. There is also no way to verify that a user's problem is actually the same as the report.
