Hi Daniel,
After downgrading apport to the version you specified, I was able to submit a new bug 1727603 : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1727603 I was notified that this report contains private information and it was automatically selected as private. I changed the visibility to public after going through the .txt files. Please let me know if I should change the bug visibility back to private.
