[Tuomas Heino]

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  1. When trying to send a report manually, you can not

- 3. When trying to copy-paste the stacktrace as text, UI does not have such functionality (and does not tell the user that <NAME>.crash is just a text file)

+ 3. When trying to copy-paste the stacktrace as text, UI does not have such functionality
  
  [Test Case]
  Start Ubuntu
  Open terminal
  $ ubuntu-bug /var/crash/<NAME>.crash # does not appear to send anything to errors.ubuntu.com, when NetworkManager claims missing network connectivity.

  Similarly to bug #1825822 I attempted to
