This is a limitation of the msdos partition table, not a bug in gparted.
By their nature, logical partitions are numbered in order, and can not
have unused numbers in the sequence. When creating new logical
partitions, even if they are placed at a lower offset on the disk, they
are given the next available number rather than change the number of the
existing partitions, which will cause other programs to break because
the partition they expected to be there has been moved.
** Changed in: gparted (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Invalid
