should not have default for partitioning radio button group

[Rodolfo Bonnin]

Kubuntu presents a dangerous (IMHO) first suggestion of resize a existing NTFS, that ocuppies the entire disk, to the half. I accidentally pressed continue (Given the touchpad being too sensitive) and without warning, the installer proceeded!

If you go forth and then back tho the options, the installer suggest delete the entire disk! In this situation the mouse is near the continue button. One more click and voilá! your disk is wiped out.

I'm linux user from 1999, and this time I deleted a friends Winxp partition. I don't remember making this mistake before (or maybe I'm getting old :-) )
Please ask confirmation, with default No option before any changes on the HD!

Many thanks.

I believe that this is a duplicate of bug #52830.

On reflection, I think this is a ubiquity bug, quite aside from any other issues of which options are presented (regarding which there are other bugs on partman-auto). Given touchpad sensitivities and the like, ubiquity should arguably not have a default for the partitioning radio button; you should have to choose something explicitly before you can continue.

This bug conflicts with bug 1043822 and ubiquity design spec.

This is now fixed in gtk client, as there is confirmation after the default choice.
Please test again with a recent Kubuntu image (12.04.1 or Quantal daily), to check if it is fixed there as well.
