That's kind of the point: you want to be able to create a new partition, without the confusing need to click on the free space first. You can't "accidentally" create a partition.
Come to think of it, I'm not sure why you even need to have the free space selected to create a partition. It goes without saying that creating a new partition will use free space, so there shouldn't be a need to select it explicitly. Maybe the create menu option just needs to be enabled regardless of what you have selected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32484 Title: selection should default to free space To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gparted/+bug/32484/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
