Bug Description

This is happening when running latest 22.04 from a live bootable USB stick.

At the first "Installation type" dialog, when I select "Something else" and click "Continue", another "Installation Type" dialog appears. In this dialog, there is some textual information partly visible under a horizontal color bar supposed to show the proportions of allocated space. The text is not readable but I was able to select some of it using the mouse and copy it to the clipboard. Here is what it says:

"Your installation medium is on /dev/sdc1. You will not be able to create, delete, or resize partitions on this disk, but you may be able to install to existing partitions there."

There may be other info hidden as well but there's no way to know for sure.

See attached screenshot.

Here are a few command outputs that might help:
