Thanks in advance. 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.
