Bug Description
Try to recreate or clone the OS partition on another harddrive of a different size as the original.
GParted shows only an impresize size of the existing partition such as "32.63GB", whereas to create the new partition the exact size in MiB is required.
Hidden in the Properties, gparted does tell the number of sectors in the old partition, but that can't be directly used to create the new partition either. (V 0.7.0)
Use case is not to copy but create two disks with same partiton sizes (only some of them raid partition clones).
--
Suggested fix:
* Also show the (full length) size in MiB in the detailed properties window, since this is the standard allign unit anyway.

GParted displays partition sizes using units that try to keep the digits before the decimal place to three or less.
When the Move/Resize or the Copy dialog box is first shown, the current size is shown in mebibytes in the "New size (MiB)" field.
