[Bug 32484] Re: selection should default to free space

[Phillip Susi]

** Summary changed:

- Unable to create a new partition
+ selection should default to free space

** Description changed:

- When you first access the partitioner part of espresso in Flight 4 the
- New button is greyed out and you are unable to add a partition. To
- actually add the partition you click the square that displays the
- partitions which then displays the unallocated space and the New button
- is enabled.
- 
- This is a subtle usability bug that should be resolved. When the
- partitioner starts, the unallocated space should be displayed
- automatically and the New button should be enabled.
+ When gparted opens, the menu option to create a new partition is
+ disabled.  This is because it is only active when free space is
+ selected, and it is not selected by default.  The free space should be
+ selected by default.
