Pressing [Back] loses all previously configured partitions

[Paul Sladen]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Partitions can be configured in the installer using 'Manual' mode. After this is done, if [Continue] is clicked the user is taken to the next page (auto account migration). From this point, if the user clicks [Back] they are taken to a choice between automatic and manual partitioning; selecting manual partition gives the user an empty, unconfigure view of the disk space again:

Interestingly, deleted partitions stay deleted.

This is still a problem using the Kubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) Beta amd64 Desktop installation CD.

This is still a problem in Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic). Please fix this!

Still an issue in Kubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) Beta 1 featuring ubiquity 2.2.5.

I suppose it's not that severe, but it is annoying.

This release of Ubuntu is no longer receiving maintenance updates. If this is still an issue on a maintained version of Ubuntu please let us know.
