            Bug ID: 318635
           Summary: Crash assistant wizard - enter crash description
                    before generating backtrace
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.9
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: gdr at go2.pl

I want to help the KDE community by submitting the crashes that occasionally
happen on my system. In these cases, a bug wizard starts, asks me if I remember
what I was doing prior to the crash - of course I did - then for half an hour
up to several hours generates crash dump data, and after all this makes me type
in the details about what happened. I don't remember any details, I've moved on
since then. This is not logical. This makes me report about 1/10th bugs I
encounter.

Long story short:
1. Ask user if he knows what he did before crash
2. Let the user type what he did before crash
3. Start the lengthy backtrace generation process

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ((void*)0) = 0
2. Fill out a bug report
3.
Actual Results:  
You forgot what you were doing 3 hours ago, when the crash happened

Expected Results:  
You remember what happened, because it was seconds ago
