Package: installation-reports Severity: important Justification: after crashing, installer hangs starting partitioning task

When this happens, the installer attempts to restart the task with "Starting up the partitioner" but hangs about mid-way through the status bar. Dragging a line appears to confirm or merge its actions with the target (dropping a line onto itself seems to select and confirm the action, which could be dangerous). This has happened to me at multiple screens within the partitioner, I will follow up with exact lines to reproduce, I believe dragging the first hard drive line onto the blank line above triggers this. The error printed on VC1 after the crash is (partially): "gtk_text_view_start_selection_drag: assertion failed: text view -> selection_drag_handler == 0" Joel Johnson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
