Title:
  Hardy and Intrepid installations freeze at partitioning stage

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Package: Official Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 CD-ROMs.

  Environment used for testing: Sony TZ laptop with Windows XP
  installed.

  Goal: Create a dual (Ubuntu/Win XP) boot.

  Summary: Hardy and Intrepid installations freeze at the partitioning
  stage when trying to set up partitioning manually and going back and
  forth through partitioning screens.

  Steps to reproduce: Start the installation. When coming to the
  partitioning stage, choose the manual partitioning and change a
  partitioning decision multiple times, going back and forth through the
  screens.

  At some moment, the screen completely freezes and all control is lost
  - powering down the machine is the only option.

  On the other hand, when making a partitioning decision once (without
  going back and forth through the screens), the installation proceeds
  normally.

  Observed with both Hardy and Intrepid.
