Choosing "Delete old Ubuntu and install 11.10" during setup begins installation immediately without any warnings

[raavi]

Hi all!
 I had an installed Ubuntu (11.04) and decided to update to 11.10.
So, downloaded the 11.10 install image and boot up the laptop from the CD image.
I got 4 options during installation:
- Delete all and install ubutnu 11.10
- Delete old ubuntu and install 11.10
- Dlete Windows and ubuntu and install ubuntu 11.10
- Other

Because i wanted a new install i choose to delete ubuntu and install 11.10.
After i pressed next it started immediately to install the new os. Without any warning messages.
I know there was a note under the options that " you can loose your datas", but i was expecting a warning pop-up also before it it start to erase anything from the hdd.
I feel this choiche is a quite sensitive part of the install process. If you have laptop touchpad can make bad joke with you If you accidentally touch it during typing or whatever you do.

So the question is what is your opinion about this
or is it working as designed? Where to address such a questions/observations like this?
Thank you!

Hi Raavi,
your observations are right (I have not tried to see if the behavior is by design or is a bug yet). You've done the right thing by opening a bug report here; your best bet would be asking in the #ubuntu-devel IRC channel for advice, pointing them to this report if necessary.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. If you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
