This is just a spare pc I use for testing. I considered loading live or
the "something else" option, but losing the last install wasn't a
problem. I can easily set it up again and run through other options.
Scenario:
PC installed with Ubuntu 12.04.2 Server edition
Created bootable usb drive install from another pc (Ubuntu 12.04) using
Ubuntu-Gnome 13.04 iso
Started PC with usb drive connected.
Installer started.
Chose English.
Chose to install rather than Try.
It found the previous installation of 12.04.2.
Prompted install options (Upgrade, Alongside, Erase, etc.).
Chose Alongside.
Part editor started.
Drive was listed in dropdown.
Visual drive shown (two representative blocks with split for resizing).
I could move the blocks, but the reaction of the screen was slow. Mouse
was working fine.
Moused over "advanced partition editor".
It took a while (10 seconds) for the cursor to change to the pointing hand.
Clicked link with no reaction. Tried several times.
Moved off link, and back, it still would not accept the click.
Quit button was active, Back and Continue were grayed out (disabled).
Quit button did not function when clicked either.
Power cycled machine and tried two more times with the same issue.

Ran in VM. No problems.
Tried to install on a pc along side 12.04.2, partition screen
doesn't respond well. On the second attempt, I was able to move
the partition, but the Continue and Back buttons stayed
disabled. When mousing over the advanced partition manager, the
cursor changed to the hand, but could not click. I erased the
drive, and installed.

If it is the same as the bug mentioned by Tim, please click on: This

As a workaround, IMHO, why not try "Something Else" or at least
prepare your partition 'before' installing?
One more Q:
What kind of methods you have followed?
Try Ubuntu GNOME without installation?
Install Ubuntu GNOME?
The more details, the better :)
I guess I need to write a test case/scenario so that everyone can
follow. Remember, if someone can NOT reproduce the same bug following
the very same steps you have done, it is SO hard to fix any bug :)
So, we need to agree to use a certain scenario to make life easier for
everyone ;)
