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

[Phillip Susi]

That's kind of the point: you want to be able to create a new partition,
without the confusing need to click on the free space first.  You can't
"accidentally" create a partition.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure why you even need to have the free
space selected to create a partition.  It goes without saying that
creating a new partition will use free space, so there shouldn't be a
need to select it explicitly.  Maybe the create menu option just needs
to be enabled regardless of what you have selected.

Title:
  selection should default to free space

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

Bug description:
  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.
