Bug Description
When trying to report a bug on "Ubuntu Software" I try to use the "-w" option to select the window of the application
(because I dont know the program or the package name of the application running with the icon in the dock saying it's "Ubuntu Software", and it seems impossible to find out the pid "Ubuntu Software" is running on, as there is nothing resembling "ubuntu software" in the ps process list)
but after selecting it shows me some additional info dialog window, that seems to have so much text content, that any further action buttons that might be at the end of the text are not visible and reachable.
it looks like the apport dialog window goes over the size of my screen and I see not possibility how to move it to reach its bottom. This used to work by pressing "alt" and moving the window with the mouse but that doesn't do the job.
So it's impossible for me to file a bug.
A better behaviour would be if the window are with the lots amount of text content would be scrollable and the window made to just fit the current screen resolution so the buttons are reachable.
