Bug Description
When a user creates a second partition during custom partitioning, the second time the user opens the dialog box "Create partition", the combox "partition type" doesn't open the first time the user clicks on it.
This is only reproducible in "Try Ubuntu" mode not if the user selected "Install Ubuntu" in ubiquity-dm. When it happens arrows are displayed at the top and bottom of the combo (see screenshot) so it might be a compiz or gtk bug.
This is a minor annoyance for a human, but a real blocker for automated tests and very difficult to workaround.
TEST CASE
1. Boot a desktop ISO, select "Try Ubuntu" and proceed to the custom partitioner ("Something else")
2. Create a new partition table
3. Double click "Free space" to open the dialog "Create partition"
4. Click on the combo "Use as:"
5. select "Ext4"
6. Press "Cancel" to dismiss the dialog
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 a second time
ACTUAL RESULT
The second time steps 3 to 6 are executed, the 1rst time the user clicks on the combobox it opens and closes immediately and the user has to click a second time to open it and keep it opened.
EXPECTED RESULT
The combobox opens every time the user clicks on it

I was able to recreate this as described in the test case.
