Ubiquity (GTK) want to resize the partition on manual partition selection (something else) whereas I didn't change its size

[Waz]

If I select something else to choose the partition where I want to install Ubuntu, Ubiquity want to resize the partition for no reason.

Note that Kubuntu don't have this bug

Steps to reproduce :

- Start the Ubuntu installation
- Select Something else for disk options
- Select a partition
- Click on modify
- Use as ext4
- Don't change its size
- Select "/"
- Select Format
- Valid
- Ubiquity ask to resize the partition whereas you didn't change its size
- If you refuse to resize it the installation works anyway

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I suspect this may "just" be a debconf dialog firing where it shouldn't, with the wrong text.

Triaged/Medium; I'll get to reproducing it and debugging the debconf dialogs soon at which point I can fix this.

Any news about this problem ?

I really hope this will be fixed for Ubuntu 15.10.

I start to think that won't be fixed anytime soon
