Same happened to me. I was testing this iso: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20120809.1/quantal-desktop-i386.iso on a virtualbox virtual machine with windows 7 already installed.
When I moved the slider bar that separates the grey sections of the hard drive on witch to install ubuntu and clicked installed now ubiquity crashed.

I can reproduce this crash with the following steps:
1. Start ubiquity on a system with an existing OS and proceed to the partitioner
2. Select install Ubuntu alongside <OTHER OS> and click on continue
3. On partition size step, click on continue.

ubiquity (2.11.21) quantal; urgency=low

  * Fix a typpo when checking if crypto option was selected (LP: #1035167).
  * Correct a mistake in refactoring: Do not clear drive selection, just
    before switching to install interface, instead guard by checking for
    correct current page. (LP: #1034954).
  * Mark optional options as invisible by default (LP: #1035514).

Attempting to do test case uri-001 on an Intel Macbook - (Intel Core Duo - 2.4 Ghz processor, 4 Gig Ram - 250 Gig hard drive). Using Lubuntu AMD 64+Mac Desktop. Build of August 21 2012.

Crash occurred, as described above while executing the step "Allocate drive space". The system already installed was an earlier build of Lubuntu 12.10. Auto paritioning proposed partitioning roughly 50/50 between new system and old. Clicked on "forward" and the system crashed.

@rm2892
was it possible to file a new bug?
Can you run ubiquity by starting it from terminal
$ ubiquity --debug
And can you attach /var/log/syslog & /var/log/installer/debug?

Yes I will try that.

Just attempted the same test case again, this time with Fedora 14 installed as my "System YY" - ie Fedora was installed on the full disk.

Ran Lubuntu from the Live Disk (AMD64+Mac) and got to the box headed "Installation Type". This time is recognized that Fedora 14 was installed and didn't even offer the choice of resizing partition. It offered only:

Replace Fedora release 14(Laughlin)) with Lubuntu

Something else

I'll be back to you when I've tried your suggestion.

See bug number 1040996.

Not sure that the attachments will give you the information you need. Following the problem experienced above,
Didn't see Dmitrijs' message until after I'd reformatted the hard drive and installed Fedora 14 so as to have a system sufficiently different from the Lubuntu I was attempting to install.

I probably should have left the previous Lubuntu system alone.
