[Bug 277426] Re: partitioner in 8.10 beta indicates using entire drive when using "free space"

[Phillip Susi]

8.10 has reached end of life.  Have you had this issue with 12.04 or
later?

Title:
  partitioner in 8.10 beta indicates using entire drive when using "free
  space"

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My drive has an

  * XP partition, 
  * an ntfs backup partition 
  * and around 60 gigs as a test bed space available for test installations of Ubuntu. 

  I downloaded the 8.10 beta iso and started the install.

  The partitioner indicator at the top showed the partitions correctly -
  3 sections, as I mention above

  When deciding how to partition the drive I chose "use free space". The
  2nd partitioner indicator then showed the entire drive in the colour
  one would assume is being used for Ubuntu - blue. The indicator makes
  me think the entire drive is going to be wiped - especially as this
  indication is the same as for "use entire disk"

  This should be changed so that only the free space used is blue, and
  the rest remains green as per the 1st partitioner indicator.

  Thanks
