Hi Israel, I think this bug (1325801) is fixed for the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator - in 15.04. At least it is announced as fixed. Probably the bug-fix will trickle down to 14.10 and 14.04.3 LTS. But right now it is not there in 14.04.2 LTS. I have not enabled proposed - but you are right, the bug-fix might be available there.
