This bug exists for 1+1/2 years and finally made it into the LTS version 14.04 (Trusty).
I'm wondering why this bug was allowed to break such basic and essential functionality like formatting a USB stick in an Ubuntu LTS version.
If it couldn't get fixed, the tool should have been replaced by GParted.
(Yes, GParted may be a little more complex to use, but what is the use of a tool that does not work?)
(doesn't work on any of 3 Ubuntu 14.04 computers)
