Hey,

Thanks for having a look!

Well it returns 0 for all fields, but I tested on several screen sizes
and everything seems fine so I went ahead.

While testing I noticed two new issues though:

1. When the disk is GPT partitionned there is no confirmation page in
  "run-label-page". Something I missed in #57232.

2. When there is an exception in run-external-command-with-handler/tty
    for instance, the backtrace page is displayed in the PTY and the
    keyboard shortcuts do not work anymore.

I'll address point 1 shortly but could use some advice for point 2.

Thanks,

Mathieu
