Description Curtis Gedak 2010-10-18 16:32:36 UTC 
When moving or copying a partition using MiB alignment the destination partition ends up being 1 MiB larger.

For example if a partition of exactly 16.00 MiB is copied, the destination partition ends up being 17.00 MiB in size.
Comment 1 Curtis Gedak 2010-10-18 22:51:54 UTC 
GParted 0.6.2 does not exhibit this problem.
GParted 0.6.3 does exhibit this problem.
Hence the problem was introduced with the 0.6.3 release of GParted.

Now to find the offending code....
