Yes, that has absolutely nothing to do with this bug report. This bug
report is about a message *at boot time* informing users that the encrypted
swap device could not be mounted.

gparted is correct when it tells you that /dev/sda7 in not mounted. It's
*not* mounted - /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is mounted, and gparted has no idea
of the mapping between /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 and /dev/sda7.

But this information is available in /sys, so gparted could learn to parse
that. You should file a wishlist bug against gparted for this, if you would
like to see this implemented.
