Good to know, thank you. I have not yet tried to build gimp myself,
but I feel confident I should be able to get this working.
Certainly, I understand you do not want to provide bugfixes for
previous versions of gimp.

It is a bug in this version of GIMP that no longer exists in gimp

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outdated stable versions -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.
