Brian, I think that this report contains two different bug reports.

FIRST BUG REPORT - GParted Crash

Two bugs that would crash GParted were fixed in GParted 0.7.0.
Ekron, would you be able to retest with the latest version of GParted?

SECOND BUG REPORT - Visual Disk Display Disappears

The file in comment #1 appears to be a .PNG image named Screenshot.png, and not a patch.

The screen shot shows a view of GParted where the visual disk representation is not displayed.

The visual disk display disappearing problem will be fixed in GParted 0.8.0, and has previously been reported:
Bug #583746 - Partition graph disappears after a swap partition has been deleted

I agree these are two different bugs. I no longer hope that release 10.04.X, which is famous for its "stability", to correct them, because produced only security patches for the current branch of the package. I just wish that would be Canonical noticed that for this "stability"of the old package, users are faced with problems.

Looking at the attachments in this bug report, I noticed that "just before this" was flagged as a patch. A patch contains changes to an Ubuntu package that will resolve a bug, since this was not one I've unchecked the patch flag for it. In the future keep in mind the definition of a patch. You can learn more about what qualifies as a patch at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Patches. Thanks!
