Title:
  Kubuntu installer crashes when toggling the checkbox to format an
  existing partition, in the manual partitioner

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When installing Kubuntu 18.10, I was attempting to re-use and format
  my previous root partition in the manual partitioner. However after
  exiting out of the "Change..." menu, I realized I forgot to set the
  partition to be formatted, so I checked the box next to it, causing
  Ubiquity to crash.

  From what I can tell of a cursory glance of the traceback, it appears
  to specifically be a bug in the KDE frontend.
