[opensuse-factory] gparted can not initialize a new disk partition [Was: Leap 42.3 Build 0294 released! ]

Hi, On gparted, I can not create new partition table on new disk. Only the "New" icon is highlighted, and this refuses to create a partition till a partition table is created. But all entries are disabled. Help says "use menu Device / New", but there is no menu. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
