thanks
Hello,

Please see if you can reproduce it using current daily images and
provide a screenshot or picture of it so we can see what you mean by
"corrupt". In meanwhile I will assume it is working fine.

Please in case you can reproduce it using latest dailies elaborate it
a bit more because I didn't figure out what you meant.

I can confirm this issue. I am reassigning it to grub-installer since
it needs to be fixed there.
Thanks a lot by reporting it.
