A trick I use to deal with this bug on my HP EliteBook laptop / Linux Mint 17.1:
- Unplug the Logitech K120 keyboard - Start Inkscape - Replug the keyboard
=> Bug doesn't show up, I can use the (Logitech K120) space bar for panning.
If you are still encountering the bug, try pressing Alt+F4 to close Inkscape; you may be able to control the save-dialog with your keyboard.
