For some reason I often find that if I try to report a .crash (which the GUI for some reason didn't alert me about) file this will happen (this happens with all the Apport tools to report a crash, this just so happens to be the apport-cli example):
*** Send problem report to the developers?

If you can't see what is happening here, these dots literally just kept coming as fast as they possibly could. Literally within about 5 seconds all these dots were here and my internet usage was still on 0 in my System Monitor so it wasn't actually doing anything and was just going mad. So I am unable to report certain crashes which is rather annoying.
I was forced to ^C which caused this to be outputted:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/apport-cli", line 370, in <module>
if not app.run_argv():

It also fails to create the .upload or the .uploaded files in /var/crash. And it should also be noted that the same thing happens when selecting the V to view option.

For which .crash files do you notice this happening with? Its likely the package has an apport package hook which is trying to use a UI to ask you questions.
