Comment 3 for bug 1935076

thanks a lot for your fast response and help!

Actually I only recognized the yellow editing circle for the main content areas here in launchpad bug report, and missed them being also next to each single file, where I can delete the whole files, as I see now on closer inspection.

I wanted to disagree with the point that the information that is uploaded is displayed and I am asked for confirmation, because I have seen an checked this dialog in previous automatic crash reports and never saw anything critical.

But on closer inspection I see that apparently a bug report for Terminal sends different information than for example thunderbird (which was my reason to file this bug, as it sent details about my internal ip network, lsusb, alsa, username etc).

In my opinion this fact isn't clear enough, people who filed bugs e.g. for Terminal before, will assume the information sent is the same with any other program, and will not check these things.

IMHO and the warning when sending "ip addr" output and other things should be clearer.

While being convenient for developers debugging problems not having to ask for additional information, I doubt it is a good idea to fetch all these data in all cases.
e.g. my IP address, username, alsa sound system information, lsusb says a LOT about my personal computer usage, but is absolutely not necessary nor even useful to have when I send a bug report because Thunderbird's way to handle keyboard shortcuts is broken since the latest update.

I am not sure if this is the best possible way to report bugs and collect data about systems, that also contains data about computer users and therefore persons.
