Hi,

When I'm using the graphical installer and I choose the option to automatically partition with encryption, I then edit the partitions to add a swap partition (I do this  because I want a swap partition and it isn't provided by default). I do this by freeing either the root or home partitions (I've tried both) and first allocating some storage to a swap partition, and then allocating the rest back to the partition originally freed (and I encrypt it, etc.).

The bug: When I tell it to go ahead and partition the drive according to what I set up, the screen flashes and resets the entire installer to the beginning of the installation i.e. takes me back to the locale setting screen. However, when I don't create a swap, it seems to partition without complaint.

Thanks,

Imran
