--- Comment #2 from Bruce Blore <[email protected]> ---
I'll be more specific about what happened near the end. After I started the
operation, I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F2 to switch to a console. I did this because the
nouveau drivers that come with the live usb regularly cause my system to kernel
panic (I'm going to get Intel integrated graphics when I upgrade), and not
having a GUI on the screen was a workaround that I found. I played video games
on another device while glancing at my hard drive light occasionally, so it is
possible that the partition editor sat idle for a few minutes.

When I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch back to the GUI, the partition editor
window looked exactly as it did when I switched to the console. A fraction of a
second later, it "jumped" to 100% (I kinda expected that) and then crashed with
the segfault. This did not happen when I briefly switched to the GUI to check
on the progress when it was not finished. I think the crash happened before I
was actually able to interact with it, but I *might* have been able to close
the Apply Progress dialog.

I will try doing a somewhat long operation and switching to the console at the
start and to the GUI at the end. Hopefully, I'll be able to reproduce it then.

Based on this info I just provided, I'm thinking that the issue could be
related to the parts of the application responsible for drawing the UI rather
than the parts responsible for the actual partitioning. Do you recommend that I
try it on my main hard drive for consistency or a flash drive that I don't care
about to lower the risk of data loss?
