Description Jan Claeys 2009-05-26 15:10:00 UTC 
Creating a new partition table on a device doesn't clear all pending operations on that device.  Then when performing the pending operations GParted crashes.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/378757

Copy of the steps to reproduce this:
1) Select a partition and delete it.
2) Create new partition table.
3) Note that request to delete original partition is still on the queue, but the device is now clean.
4) Press "Apply"
5) Gparted crashes.

The code has been improved to ensure that there are no pending operations before creating a new partition table.  If there are pending operations, a dialog window is displayed indicating to the user to either clear or apply all operations before creating a new partition table.

This enhancement has been committed to the git repository for inclusion in the next release of GParted (0.4.8).
