GIMP 2.8 file save prevented regardless of permissions

[IanG]

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10 incrementally from 12.04 LTS, package system automatically introduced GIMP as 2.8

BUG: When opening up a jpeg file in GIMP 2.8.6 to start editing, saving as existing or new file is impossible.

Permissions: no indicator that this is a problem

Okay this is interesting. If I start Gimp 2.8 and then open or import an image to work on, it'll let me save to xcf or export no problem.

But if Gimp is invoked by right clicking on the image, that's when I can immediately save.

So at least I have a workaround

* apologies. Second line above should read:

But if Gimp is invoked by right clicking on the image, that's when I *CANNOT immediately save.

Can you provide a sample image and a screenshot? Thank you very much!
