Bug Description
I just installed intrepid on a computer with the following partitions
sda1 ntfs ~20GB
then 40 GB empty space (not partitionned)
Ubiquity wanted to resize sda1 at about 50% and place Ubuntu in the remaining 50% letting 40 GB free space after those partitions.
Expected results :
Ubiquity proposes to use the free space to install Ubuntu.

I just marked 295874 as a duplicate as it was later reported. There is a screenshot of the situation.
I just did my first new physical installation after 2 years of successfull upgrades. In my case I had 40GB NTFS and 120GB of free space, which was absolutely ignored by the "guided" (aka not smart) partitioner and had to create partitions manually.
Most absurd option was to "use largest continues *free* *space*" which was expected to use the free space and not the whole disk.
