Title:
  "Install <flavour> alongside them" selects unused space without
  confirming that is what the user/installer wants to do.

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a 2T disk with 20G space at the end. I select "Install
  <flavour> alongside them" because I know it allows resizing and I want
  a 100g partition to install on. However, ubiquity skips that step and
  just makes a 20g partition to install on without even confirming with
  the user so they can at least back out.

  Selecting "Something else" does not offer partition resizing either.

  There seems to be no way of resizing a partition if there is already
  empty space big enough to install on. However this space may not be
  big enough for install the user's normal software complement after
  installing the ISO.
