When you first open the flag go to Image -> Mode and if it is Indexed change it to RGB.

You can also see Indexed / RGB top of the Gimp Window for the image

Ok yeah, worked, thank you

Though it seems to reset to indexed every time now, which didnt happen before, is there a way to make RGB default or something ?
