[Bug 1453976] [NEW] manual partitoing difficult with only keyboard

[Brendan Perrine]

Public bug reported:

Try to install the wiley dialy of Lubuntu amd 64 in a kvm vm using only
a keyboard. You can get through the rest of the installer with only
keyboard but partitioning is very difficult to get to get working with
only the keyboard which can be a major for accessbility for peopel with
poor motor skills. It is very difficult to try to  do with only the
keyboard. I saved screenshots of the parts I have trouble with only
keyboard saved on the host and will shortly attach them but called
apport from within the vm.

Description:	Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
Release:	15.10


I expected manual partitiong to be accessable to keyboard only users like entire disk or auto resize is. Instead I find the next install now buton to be visbile where you can use the keyboard will show having over mount point has the effect of clicking ok so it is not obvious how to change the mount point which is importnat if you want to do manaul partitioning. TO make the needed mount of a / partition is hard to make with having the the text over the moint and pressing enter leads to no mount point.
