Title:
  In partitioner 'select something else' deleting and adding a partition
  causes crash

Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  === Release notes text ===

  When deleting and recreating partitions in manual partitioning where
  the disk has many partitions the installer may hang when attempting to
  mark the partition to be formatted.  Resetting and restarting the
  install will allow the installation to be completed.

  ===

  Attemptin a side by side install after using auto-resize (i.e. manual)
  Selecting "Something Else" then deleting the partion I wanted to re-
  use and returning it to free space. Then selected it and selected it
  to be used as "/" (other defaults left as is e.g. ext4...) When I then
  selected the swap partition to be used as swap. the installer crashed
  with the above attached details. This happened twice on the row; hence
  my raising it as a bug.
