Installer erroneously modifies Attributes of EFI System partition

Asked by David

Hi,

Installed Ubuntu 18.04 beside existing OS and utility installations, some of which require some of the attribute bits from 48-63 on the EFI System partition to function properly, unfortunately the Ubuntu install zeroed out those bits (in this case bit 55 was needed) when it shouldn't be touching them at all.

Please Fix to not modify the attributes of the EFI System partition. The UEFI Spec clearly states to preserve the bits.

Thanks.
