Title:
  Partitions display wrong in gnome -disks - ok in gparted

Status in parted package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in parted source package in Xenial:
  Won't Fix
Status in parted source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * Impact

  gnome-disk-utility sometime displays the wrong partitons informations

  
  * Test case

  On a system with an extended partition start gparted, close it and
  start gnome-disk-utility, the layout displayed should be correct

  
  * Regression potential
  check that partitions handling is still working correctly in g-d-u

  --------------------

  The partitions displayed by gnome-disk-utility are wrong. When i use
  gparted the partitions displayed are correct.

  The display became wrong after i deleted 1 partition from the disk
  using gnome-disk-utility.

  Here is a screenshot of the 2 tools vision of the same disk:

  Here is the fdisk:

  I get *very nervous* when tools that have write access to partitions
  can't display them properly.

  Good hunt
  Matt
