Title:
  GParted 0.11.0 regression - corrupting swap partitions

Status in Gnome Partition Editor:
  Confirmed
Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In some situations when shrinking, moving, and copying linux-swap, the
  linux-swap partition is no longer recognized as linux-swap.

  For example, try moving (no size change) a linux-swap logical
  partition to the right and applying the change.  The result, after
  GParted rescans the devices, is that the partition is no longer
  recognized as linux-swap.

  This problem was originally reported upstream in the following bug report:
  Bug 670017 - Corrupting swap partition
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670017

  The upstream bug report contains a patch to address this regression in
  behaviour.
