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

[Phillip Susi]

Why not just *always* show the usual new partition dialog?  Why does
creating a partition depend on the current selection at all?  New
partitions are always created out of free space, so why explicitly
require that space to be selected first?

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.
