It's a feature that was there before (encrypting /home) but is no longer
supported.

As for full disk encryption, you still have the option of doing the
partitioning yourself; we indeed to not currently provide an option to
do resizing *and* disk encryption.

Marking as Wishlist / Triaged, since these feature requests are fairly
well understood.

Title:
  No way to encrypt at partition level (dual boot)

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I'm using kubuntu alongside with windows in a dual boot, therefore I cannot use the full disk partition option. There is no option in the installer to get an encrypted kubuntu with windows (or any other OS) already installed on the same disk. There used to be an option to encrypt /home (up to 16.10 IIRC) but it does not exist anymore.
  I had to follow and adapt this tutorial http://blog.botux.fr/en/2015/09/ubuntu-installation-manual-full-disk-encryption-lvm-on-luks/ to get my encrypted kubuntu.
  Is it a bug in the installer or a missing (important, as security related) feature?
