Mypaint closes without asking to save

Hello,
I have a laptop/tablet (HP Elitebook 2760p) which has a digitised wacom screen. I am running Arch linux with cinnamon DE. Currently I have a fresh install of Arch Linux.

I have a problem using MyPaint 1.1, it does not display a prompt "asking to save the picture or drawing in progress"  if I close the mypaint window by clicking on x icon in the corner (also happens if I touch it by accident when I am drawing).

When I first installed mypaint it behaved normally, ie, the prompt would display asking me to save the drawing. However, after a few reboots, the issue began. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it couple of times, the same problem.

I would be grateful for any suggestions to resolve this issue.

Are you experiencing this?

Also, re-installing a package won't make a difference in this sort of scenario because user settings are stored in your home directory. If you'd like to "reset" MyPaint, you can read more about the configuration files in your home directory here:
