Public bug reported:
My disk has two partitions, / and /home. When I was installing Karmic
alpha 3 I wanted to format / and use (but not format) /home. I do this
by manual partitioning.
The problem is that I can set the dialog pulldowns to an inconsistent
state without any blurring. For instance I can select "format as" and
change it from "do not use" to "ext3", but not check the format box
(the partition is ext4).
Instead I suggest reordering the boxes - the mount point is more
important than the filesystem type, so put that first and put the "do
not use" there. Then I click do not use and change it to /home. The
"filesystem type" should then be grayed out (defaulting to its current
filesystem) unless I check the format button.
So: currently:
Filesystem: (do not use) -> (ext4)
Format? (unchecked) -> (checked)
Mount point: (empty) -> (/home)
Proposed:
Mount point: (do not use) -> (/home)
Format? (unchecked) -> (checked)
Filesystem: (current) -> (new filesystem only if format is checked)

Possible to have Ubiquity manual partitioning show a different filesystem while
"format" is unchecked
