Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. For the record, this is not an apport issue, but most probably in the "Report a problem" implementation on a specific package.

Can you tell me where did you select this option?

This doesn't exist. Please do not use the menu editor to show files which are not applications. This is just a MIME link.

Users keep enabling this, so I'll fix the .desktop file to not ever appear in the menu editor.
