Public bug reported:
I found another wart when using the KDE installer. I chose the 'Manual
partitioning' option. After resizing the NTFS partition, I had a huge
block of free space available. But I couldn't find any way to create a
new partition in that free space. The 'New partition' button remained
disabled throughout. I also try right-clicking on the free space to have
a contextual menu item to create a partition in that free space but
didn't find one.
My free space was in the middle of the disk. Came first a small primary
partition for the Dell Utilities. Then the small repartitioned NTFS
primary partition. Then the free space. Then another small Dell system
primary partition at the end of the disk.
I finally partitioned the disks outside the installer using cfdisk and
everything went fine from there. I created an extended partition on the
free space and then create my swap space and two other partitions.
