Title:
  unintended partition resize

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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...
