[Bug 1299456] [NEW] unintended partition resize

[Frank]

Public bug reported:

When trying to install trusty beta 1 to an existing file system,
clicking the partition pops up a little window that allows me to say
that I want to use it as ext4 (which the filesystem already was), and to
mount it as /.

However, that same popup also display a new size in MB. I never changed
it, however it shows a number that 1 higher than what is listed in the
partitions overview. Proceeding anyway, ubiquity warns me that it will
have to resize the partition. It does that even if I back out, and
change the size to exactly what is listed in the overview. I've tried
this a few times, but this always seems to trigger the resize.

Interestingly, when I then proceed to click 'revert' in the partitions
overview, and than set the mount point for the partition again, it still
shows the wrong size (+1 MB as compared to the partition overview
listing), however I can normally proceed without ubiquity asking me
about resizing. So that's a work-around, at least...
