Bug Description
[Impact]
On a system where BitLocker is enabled, when choosing "Install Ubuntu
alongside Windows Boot Manager", a page is shown instructing us to
turn off BitLocker. On this page, a green "Restart" button is shown.
If we now go back and pick "Something else", the advanced partitioning
screen still displays the green restart button, even though clicking
on it acts like the expected "Install Now" button.
Whereas a user could think they are just restarting, but actually
clicking an "Install Now" button, the present state risks users losing
data.
[Test Plan]
* Acquire a VM or machine with a partition that is BitLockered.
* Run thru the Ubiquity installer:
* Install Ubuntu
* Appropriate keyboard layout and Continue
* Accept defaults at "Updates and other software" Install screen,
and Continue
* At the Installation type screen, ensure that "Install Ubuntu
alongside Windows Boot Manager" is selected, and Continue
* The "Turn off bitlocker" screen should now be showing. Click the
"Back" button
* Select "Something else" and Continue
* 3 buttons should be visible in the Bottom row. When the defect is
present, the rightmost button is green and says "Restart". When
the defect has been corrected, the rightmost button says "Install
now" and is the same color as the other buttons.
[Where problems could occur]
* Any change to the installer must be treated with the highest level
of care, as this is a place where users with less experience make
changes to a system and can lose data if mistakes are made.
* Are there other code flows where the state variables are incorrect?
Since the current code depends on the back button to reset the
state, is it doing so completely?
