Title:
  Can't provide comments when submitting an error report

Status in Apport:
  Won't Fix
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When submitting an error report, it is currently not possible for a
  user to provide free-form information about what happened.

  Firefox presents this as "Add a comment (comments are publicly
  visible)". OS X presents it as "What were you doing when the
  application crashed?" or "Please describe what you were doing when the
  problem happened:".

  This is a prerequisite for turning off Apport submission of bug
  reports to Launchpad, using just the error tracker instead.
  <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-r-crash-
  database>: "UI design for optionally providing a description of an
  error that just occurred".

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker#comments>: "If you choose 'Show
  Details', it should change to 'Hide Details' while the details field
  and the 'What you were doing when the error occurred: (optional)'
  field appear above the buttons."
