partitioning: progress window is hidden if an error window opens

[Olivier Jeulin]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Manual partitioning > click on several partitions, choose one to resize (modify the size), click OK, click "next" button.
A few seconds after, a window appears, saying there is an I/O error (that is correct, my HDD is having problems). There are 3 buttons (retry, ignore abort, if I remember correctly), I choose "abort", the windows closes.

Modal window problem: The installer window (with drives infos) is frozen: a click on the "back" button does nothing. When I use <alt>+<tab> to switch to firefox, I see 2 windows for the installer, the small one is labeled "Please wait ...". I try to switch many times, but it is impossible to bring the progress bar window on the front.
Firefox was running, I switched to it to search for help, and the window with the progress bar of the formatter appeared. When I click on the progress bar, it disapears and the main window of the installer is displayed.
