[Bug 2000419] [NEW] Installation Type Applet Hides Text Behind Graphics

Sat Dec 24 18:10:13 UTC 2022

Public bug reported:

This is happening when running latest 22.04 from a live bootable USB
stick.

At the first "Installation type" dialog, when I select "Something else"
and click "Continue", another "Installation Type" dialog appears.  In
this dialog, there is some textual information partly visible under a
horizontal color bar supposed to show the proportions of allocated
space.  The text is not readable but I was able to select some of it
using the mouse and copy it to the clipboard.  Here is what it says:

"Your installation medium is on /dev/sdc1. You will not be able to
create, delete, or resize partitions on this disk, but you may be able
to install to existing partitions there."

There may be other info hidden as well but there's no way to know for
sure.

See attached screenshot.

Here are a few command outputs that might help:
