As I mentioned, I did not experience this problem during my normal
install testing.  I was able to do a test install on a spare machine
with a wired USB keyboard, but did not have problems changing the
partition size (or any other anomalies with the cursor).

Two questions:

1.)  What kind of wired keyboard are you using?

2.)  Do you happen to have another wired USB keyboard to test?

Thanks again for the report.

Glen
