I changed this to a regression/confirmed status. The "use largest continuous space" option did add value to ubiquity, and any loss of usability is a bug.

OTOH adding the options to use entire disc/partition to the side-by-side option have only resulted in confusion and in many cases data loss as I've reported in the aforementioned bugs.

Since Colin Watson is now assigned to bug 659106 I'm in hopes that we'll be able to restore some sanity to ubiquity.

Google this: "The installation experience should be attractive and effortless to reassure new users that Ubuntu is the right choice. The process should feel safe and should only highlight risk when necessary (e.g. when data will be destroyed)."

We're NOT living up to that standard!
