Bug Description
I am attempting a fresh install on a dual boot setup. currently using windows 10 and Kubuntu 20.04. I am also using LUKS but the installer doesn't really seem to support it--even the old manual setup-- so I might have to downgrade to 20.10.
I have existing partitions so I choose manual but when I attempt to assign partitions and tell the system to format it crashes. In this case I was assigning /boot as a plain partition with nothing special and when clicking OK it crashes. I don't even get to the Install Now button. it crashes editing the /boot partition.

I just ran an install where I don't use LUKs and it works. seems that in addition to the installer not allowing me to fully configure encrypted partitions it also crashes configuring other partitions when one of them is set to use encryption.
to reproduce
* create partitions before install
* start install
* move through setup to partitioning. choose manual
* choose one of the partitions and change it to use encryption
* choose another partition and click Edit. Choose to format and assign it as /boot'
* click OK and crash
