[Gimp-user] Can't Save my Work

I have tried to describe and report GIMP bugs before, but my last serious
attempt ended with being told that I needed to run a debugger version and follow
an onerous process to report. The days of my personally coding and/or my having
the interest or patience in that are gone. And yet I treasure the memory from
1993, where the end result of my calling Microsoft support three or four times
and spending literally about five hours on the phone with them ended in their
admitting that I had discovered and demonstrated not one but two
previously-unknown bugs in Word for Mac (must have been about version 5?). Not
that they actually had a fix to make my large, heavily-formatted document work
properly ...

FWIW, for a variety of capability-related reasons, I've substantially migrated
my pixel editing from GIMP to Affinity Photo. And I've found some bizarre errors
there, too; see, e.g.,
