On the first picture, you can see that partition #2 is the /boot partition.
I guess you chose "Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM".
On the second picture, a WARNING is presented to the user, asking for confirmation that the presented partitions will be formatted, erasing all data on them. The /boot partition is missing from the confirmation screen, however it too will be formatted.
At this stage, the /boot partition was already created and formatted after the user was prompted to confirm "Write the changes to disk and configure LVM?".
This can lead to critical data loss if the user expects the confirmation screen to list everything that will be erased.
"Use entire disk" implies deleting all existing partitions anyway.
