Creating new partition sometimes don't respect the entered size

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Using the Intrepid livecd (amd64) iso from 2008-08-31, I noticed a strange behaviour when manually partitioning the disk.

  1. Create a new partition (I entered 10000) as the size
  2. Create another new partition, but without changing any options.
     Leave the size as it is (defaults to 10000, because that was what I entered
     for the first partition)

Instead of creating a new 10Gb partition, the second step uses up all remaining free space.

I can't reproduce this; when creating the second partion, the default is however much free space there is rather than the amount used on the first partition. Are you still seeing this?
