And it it problem?
This is expected behavior, the sectors before the first partition are no more
reported as unused. The space is usually ignored to keep the first partition
aligned, to have a space for boot loaders, etc. (But you can still move the
partition in expert menu.)
The original behavior was also inconsistent with "First sector" dialog
where the first sector is usually 2048. It's strange when the "verify"
function reports (expected and wanted) gaps in the default layout.
See commit 11712b6667225ef6fa6b64c1fe48ed5b501ad72e.
