As likely everybody in this list knows, we changed the user interface of the Partitioner because it was impossible to add more functionality to the previous havoc of (dis)appearing menu-buttons.
The changes were summarized in the description of this pull request that was then linked in our usual blog posts: https://github.com/yast/yast-storage-ng/pull/1157 The point is that we are getting quite some bug reports from people who didn't expect the change and who cannot find their way through the new UI. That includes people claiming the Partitioner is not longer displaying the partitions (because they are now nested in the tables within their corresponding disk) or claiming than a given options has disappeared (because it has been moved to the new menu). That opens a question - what can we do to prevent our users to get lost in the new UI? For me, that actually splits in two questions: 1) What can we adjust in the UI to make the transition smoother and/or to improve usability in general? 2) What can we do to communicate the change better to all possible users? The Partitioner is not the only part of YaST under heavy revamping, so whatever are the answers I expect them to be useful in general for YaST.
