Title:
  Improvement of GUI installation dialog

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I perform recently xubuntu 16.04 installation. I wanted to reuse
  already existing partitions and LVM thus I used 'advance method'. The
  main point in that kind of installation is list of drives/partitions
  where you can select which mount point will use given partitions.

  This dialog is very unfriendly:
  - it should be resizeable (especially maximize) as it contains many information and you need to many time to scroll,
  - scrolling works somehow poor,
  - I could not change already existing LVM (for example resize or delete or create new).
  - when I choose already existing ext4 partition then GUI forces formatting of that partition. But what if I don't want to format? Maybe even I want to retain data that is on that partition.
