[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.13.13

---------------
ubiquity (2.13.13) raring; urgency=low

  [ Dmitrijs Ledkovs ]
  * Bump Standards version and override some lintian tags (ubiquity is
    weird).
  * Override expander style, which is hardcoded in light-themes to a
    light color. (LP: #1100922)
  * Consolidate CssProvider and add make minimal progress bar width 10px,
    in preparation for dot-progress of all steps.
  * Fix colour unit test, the green is no longer what it used to be...
  * Switch to "NotShowIn=KDE" for ubiquity-gtk desktop files, as most !kde
    desktop environments use gtk frontend.
  * Show progress dots for plugin pages and show progress bar only during
    slideshow.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Decode the output of apt_pkg.size_to_str() if necessary when
    substituting it into Unicode strings (LP: #877756, #1132918).
  * Update translations from Launchpad.

  [ Aurélien Gâteau ]
  * Turns the Ubiquity KDE window into a regular window and rework
    the layout of widgets to provide more space to the main content.
    The labels on the left now wrap to the next line if they are too long,
    ensuring they are never truncated.
  * KDE: Improve the layout of Prepare step
  * KDE: fix integration of the webview responsible for showing the slideshow
  * KDE: fix various issues with right-to-left languages

  [ Julien Lavergne ]
  * Use feh to draw the wallpaper on Lubuntu when using ubiquity-dm.

  [ Ma Jun (Kylin Team) ]
  * Fix referencing variable before assignment (LP: #945027)

  [ Kobe Lee ]
  * Show OS column in manual partitioning page. (LP: #1100694)

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * Fix crash in ubi-console-setup when quickly moving back and worth between
    pages. (LP: #944614)

  [ Jonathan Riddell ]
  * Add back compositing to kwin on live CD (in ubiquity-dm), whatever was wrong
    in 2008 should be fixed now and its making us look ugly
