Description of problem: In manual partitioning, it is possible to 'reformat' but it is not possible to remove the 'reformat' check box. One needs to 'finish partitioning' for anaconda to reject the proposed storage configuration and then try again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F18 TC3 (18.37.3) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to manual partitioning using a disk with some partitions (a previous fedora) 2. mark one as 'reformat' (and set size, mount point, etc) 3. 'apply' 4. now, remove check 'reformat' and 'apply' 5. hummmm, it does not seem to be possible to 'retreat'. No problem, just hit 'finish partitioning' and anaconda will later reject the storage configuration and you can try again. Actual results: nothing serious, but one must be able to deselect 'reformat' and 'apply' to restore whatever one might have selected for that partition. Inexperienced users might find this odd.

Dave's got plans for cleaning up everything related to _save_right_side and managing MountpointSelectors, so I guess I am going to kick this bug over to him.
According to this comment: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=901830#c5 , the title of this bug should be rephrased. It seems that the reformat checkbox can be checked and unchecked, but it has no effect after first check.
This should be fixed in f19-alpha and the forthcoming f19-beta. Please reopen this bug report if the issue remains. Thanks.
