First of all, make sure you are highlighting a disk and not a partition when you are going to partition. Secondly, if you are partitioning and not resizing, you need to choose a partition scheme and don't leave it on "current". Thirdly, there's a way you have to interact with the scroll area and then tab one or more times and stop interacting to see which partition you are working on. I don't know if any of these are your problem but I know these were difficulties I ran into while learning to partition and I remember that what I got right seemed like luck to me at first because I made it work but didn't understand how I had done it. I can do it reliably now but am not sure how good I'd be at explaining it unless I could do it step by step and write down my explanation while doing it.
