It is a bug in this version of GIMP that no longer exists in gimp 2.8.0 and later -
it was corrected in February - 2012 by Massimo Valentini, just prior to the 2.8 version release in May. Please take in mind that GIMP do _not_ maintain bug-fix releases of outdated stable versions - the current mainline branch is 2.8.x - and if your OS does not support that, either upgrade, or refrain from trying serious work on it. I am pretty shure that although GIMP 2.8 is not the official packages for your 2012 Ubunut, there are GIMP 2.8 builds for it available under alternate install methods. Regards, js -><- PS. type git show d93d2e71 at a GIMP source code checkout to see the fix.
