Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

1. On a computer that already has multiple partitions on the hard disk, start up from a live CD.
2. Start the installer, and advance to the "Prepare disk space" step.

What happens: The partition diagrams are about twice as wide as the available space.
What should happen: The partition diagrams should always fit exactly into the available space.

The computer I originally experienced this bug on had four partitions on its hard disk, but I just saw the bug happen on a disk with only two partitions.

This is fixed for the first partitioning page, as it no longer needs to show diagrams of the disk.

However, this problem persists on the advanced partitioning page. Presumably, we'll be fixing that as part of the advanced partition page redesign, but I'll leave this bug open to ensure that it's tracked properly.
