Public bug reported: While trying to save an open PDF from evince, I clicked on the "create folder" button in the save dialog. Apparmor prevented directory creation in the respective directory. Saving within my "home" directory works.
I consider this a bug. In my case, all user data resides in a separate data partition. With the current apparmor profiles, saving to this partition is hindered.
