Closing Sprite Editor fixes the issue.

I can confirm: closing the (possibly docked) sprite editor window will solve this problem!

I had the same bug and submitted a report for it early on. The solution I use is just tab off and on the editor tab and apply when it is open. Easy fix but very annoying.

Just close Sprite Editor. But this is important bug, Unity must fix this bug.

I can confirm this happens on 5.1.1f1 when the Sprite Editor window is open. I can't save any changes to sprites in the Inspector.
I closed the Sprite Editor window, opened it again, and now it doesn't happen anymore. When I restart Unity, and the Sprite Editor window was already opened and docked somewhere, it happens again. Full error:

Hi, recently I've just found what makes this problem.
Simply close Sprite Editor, sometimes it's very buggy.
