You are using Pinta 1.3 which is very old Pinta version. Most probably you are using some kind of older version of Linux distribution that was distributing this old version. For example Ubuntu 14.04 LTS still provides old Pinta 1.3 version.

In the time being three new versions were released, now currently stable is Pinta 1.6.

Install info for Linux and BSD users:

Or if using something else see download page:
http://pinta-project.com/releases

Please upgrade to latest Pinta version and retest. Please also let us know if the problem is fixed.
