I saw something similar, but after I add space, I'm back to the original
picture, where I see what I have and can then click a minus to remove the
partition.   Usually when I have the dialog box to create and give a mount
point, I can see how much free space is remaining.  On a couple of tests
that I did right now,  at times, rather than seeing that, it was blacked
out, but I suspect that is just a VirtualBox thing.  And when I did add the
new mount point and space, once again, I was back at the screen showing
free space, and was able to delete the mount I just created.  

So, for me, it seems to be working.

Xander: Nice. Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. 
Dracula: I have no interest in you. Leave us. 
Xander: No, we're not going to (imitates Dracula's accent) leave 
you. And where'd you get that accent Sesame Street? One, two, 
three - three victims. Mwah, ha, ha, ha! 
Buffy: Xander, I'm pretty sure that's Dracula. 
Xander: Wow, really? Hey, sorry, man, I was... just jokin' around.
