You may want to drag the save-as window so it's under the virtual
keyboard on the screen, with the virtual keyboard at the top of the
screen, if that's possible.

Please don't guess :-) Does it have that effect or not? if it does,
please report a bug against the gtk+ library or the GNU/Linux™
distribution you are using.  Note that gimp 2.4.7 is fairly old now.

I think you'd need to compile your own libgtk+2 but I'm not sure; I
don't see anything obvious in the gtkfilechooser API to disable that
behaviour.

A workaround is to put a character such as Q at the start of the
filename until you've finished and then remove the Q at the end, but
this has the disadvantage that sometimes you'll forget to remove the
Q... or I would at least.
