Title:
  Ubuntu 9.04 installer's width increases too much in partitioning step
  if computer has other OS installed

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 9.04 installer's window width increases too much in
  partitioning step if computer has other operating system(s) installed.
  This is because of text "This will delete ${SYSTEMS} and install
  ${RELEASE}." (debconf template ubiquity/text/part_format_warning).
  ${SYSTEMS} often is very long text, especially in notebook computers
  with "recovery partition", where is one more "Microsoft Windows XP
  Home Edition" or "Windows Vista (loader)" installed.

  This problem is especially visible when LiveCD starts in 800x600 screen resolution (this often happens with NVIDIA graphic cards or Asus EeePC netbooks) and has other operating systems installed.  Ubuntu installer's window expands over twice the width of my screen when in the partitioning step.
  For simple user it's impossible to continue the installation, because button "Forward" is not visible :(
  It's a serious bug for those that are NEW to Ubuntu.

  For the majority of real situation this bug can be fixed by simply
  adding line break after installed operating system list ({SYSTEMS}) -
  I've fixed partitioning step window's width problem by applying this
  patch against debconf templates:

   Name: ubiquity/text/part_format_warning
  -Description: This will delete ${SYSTEMS} and install ${RELEASE}.
  +Description: This will delete ${SYSTEMS} \n and install ${RELEASE}.
