Bug Description
I have three disks (the USBstick shows up as another) when I select installation type "Something else", I choose to install on sdd1. So I select it and click on "change" which allows me to select size, FS type and mount point. I select no size change, ext4 and /. A dialog comes up warning me I will not be able to undo a resize (say what, I didn't ask for a resize). The dialog does not confirm which partition it is talking about, but the partition list behind the dialog redraws showing sda1 as selected. Yikes! I don't want to touch sda at all, bail out and very carefully select the right partition all over... same thing. In the end the right partition is selected for install.
This is misleading.
The dialog should remind the user which partition they are destroying and the selection box should not redraw but remain with the user's selected partition, the one with the work being preformed on it, showing.
