Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Ubuntu 11.04, amd64 Live CD--
The advanced partitioner does not allow you to easily specify a mountpoint for a partition if you wish to use an unusual or nonstandard name.
For example, /dev/sda11 ext4 partition mounted as /home/$USER/sharedstuff -- you cannot use the keyboard to input the desired mountpoint. I can use cut and paste, however, to get the text in there and it is accepted.
Likewise, /dev/sda11, fat32, can't be keyed in as /transfer.
Previously, the keyboard could be used to edit a listing in this box.
