calamares drive space map has grown (partition space shown twice, free & allocated)

[Chris Guiver]

Lubuntu 20.04 groovy QA-test install
TESTCASE: REPLACE PARTITION

In this case the partition I'm replacing is sda3, on selecting it the current drive.space.map at the bottom of the calamares screen switches the partition to red (nice) in the CURRENT area. The partition being replaced is 27.6GB (hereafter just 27GB)

** Problem (What occurs)

The other partitions are unaltered; but the AFTER map of drive.space.map now shows a 27GB space as free space, plus a 27GB space that will be utilized by new install. The picture implies I've gained 27GB of disk space??

** Expected

There should be no unused area in the AFTER drive.space.map

This is a MINOR display issue. I've not yet rebooted to confirm it did what I expect, but I'll return if results aren't as intended.

this doesn't specifically relate to lubuntu. it's purpose is more details for aide in filing upstream, or evaluation of that (keeping it all in one place)

I wrote to thumb-drive manjaro-lxqt-20.0-minimal-200423-linux56.iso
booted & went thru start of replace-partition or install performed in this bug report..

the graphic image appears very similar (two areas shown for free & new-red-partition excluding different theme/colors), but no duplication of the 27.6GB

`calamares --version` reports calamares 3.2.23-1

I see no such thing anymore :)
