My intention was to describe the new workflow on the page I sent in the
first email:

https://github.com/abrt/abrt/wiki/GUI-Shortened-Reporting

Can you see the differences between "Shortened Reporting ON" (the new
workflow) and "Shortened Reporting OFF" (the old workflow)?

If you click "Report" in the notification bubble, no input is required
and the reporting finishes immediately.

If you click "Report" in the GUI, the reporting window allows you to
provide a description, informs you about processing and tells you that
the reporting is done. The workflow is almost the same as the workflow
for New Report in Normal mode at:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Oops

I guess the problem is that the reporting window isn't closed right
after the click on "Send" button. I will try to fix it.

No, the new workflow doesn't upload the core dump. If ABRT uploads the
core dump, it is a bug or you don't have Shortened Reporting ON:

Please, excuse my ignorance, but what is fuse-like share? How should it
work together with ABRT?

Yes, if you use the notification bubbles for reporting, then ABRT works
as you describe. You can also enable the Auto-reporting to get rid of
necessity to click "Report" button in the notification bubble:

https://github.com/abrt/abrt/wiki/Configuration#autoreporting

The new workflow disables Bugzilla (and all the tings before opening a
new Bugzilla bug) when Shortened Reporting is ON for the reporting
process started from the GUI.
