Title:
  Disk deleted after undoing "Use Entire Disk"

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I was playing with new installer in a virtual machine (virtualbox) in
  order to have screenshot to use in new edition of a book about
  maverick. The virtual machine had a MS Windows on it, in order to have
  some explanatory figure about partition resizing.

  Following the next steps, Windows was erased and Ubuntu was installed instead.
   1- choose "Install them side by side" --> preview shows [ Win | Ubuntu ]
   2- choose "Use Entire Disk" --> preview shows [      Ubuntu      ]
   3- choose "Split Largest Partition" --> preview shows [ Win | Ubuntu ]

  As I said, I was playing with new UI, but after step 3, due to the
  displayed preview, I was sure to preserve Windows proceeding to
  install. Fortunately it was a snapshotted virtual machine :) I'll
  provide parman log in the next days, by now I've restored previous vm
  status.

  PS IMHO could be really really good provide more info about "Use
  Entire Partition/Disk" and "Split Largest Partition", ideally
  tooltips. Moreover could be really appreciated some documentation on
  ubuntu wiki, about the exact behavior of new installer.
