Title:
  lack of feedback about disk selection by biggest_free

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
      1:   mount point dialog box in manual partitioner does not give a
  list of mount points when you try to drop down the list box when doing
  manual partitioning.

      2:  Forward button on installer dialog box does not respond to
  mouse clicks, same as in 6.10.   The Forward button at the (I believe
  its the prepare disk space dialog box) stops responding to mouse
  clicks.  Moving the dialog box makes it come alive again.  Tried this
  on several different systems.

      3:  I have two disks with unformatted space.  In the 6.10
  installer after selecting "largest contiguous free space" I was asked
  which disk.  Now there is no telling where its going to install.  This
  lack of feedback at the "prepare disk space" point in the install was
  already the mysterious-scary part of the install, especially for
  people new to Ubuntu who don't know exactly what is going to happen
  when the Forward button is hit at that point.  I appreciate very much
  that things are changing, but this change seems like a step backwards.
  Also, its pretty silly to see the partitioner default to resizing the
  windows partition when it has hundreds of megabytes of free space
  available.

      Thanks for all the work on a great operating system.
