Title:
  Fix crash when clicking cancel button, which may cause data loss

Status in partitionmanager package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in partitionmanager source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in partitionmanager source package in Zesty:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Without these fixes, partitionmanager can cause severe data loss (in the KDE bug linked, someone lost an 890 GB LUKS partition.

  [Test Case]
  Try moving a partition and then pressing Cancel while it is running. It should display a dialog box asking if that is, in fact, what you would like to do, but instead it will crash, corrupting data.

  [Regression Potential]
  While extremely unlikely, a regression could occur when another framework (that this depends on) is updated, and that could cause the dialog box to not function as intended, possibly circumventing this. Like I wrote earlier, this is extremely unlikely, but it is still a possibility.

  [Original Description]
  Upstream bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384348

  Severity High or Critical, as can cause data loss.

  Fixed in version 3.1.2 with commit:

  https://cgit.kde.org/partitionmanager.git/commit/?id=feb2e374e496c65011e036f2a611fa7cc5b4e940

  Affected versions and releases:

  3.0.0-1 in Zesty 17.04
  1.2.1-0ubuntu1 in Xenial 16.04

  Cause is as error in the porting to Qt5/KF5, so the commit should be
  backportable as indicated by the upstream maintainer.

  However, contrary to commit bf38d67e1bef0e8901b6fff75a1f968f6985c4ae
  which states the post version 3.0.0 version bump is for intended for
  implementing new features, again upstream confirmed that these did not
  actually happen and changes 3.0.0 -> 3.1.2 are just bugfixes.
