Why doesn't "drawable area" follow the dimensions of a layer?

Maybe this is the same situation I have.

I have a picture (picture 1).
I expand the size of the canvas to make room to copy another picture beside the original (picture 2).
Picture 2 is copied from an open GIMP image and pasted into the enlarged canvas area of picture 1.
Picture 2 is invisible if it dragged outside the bounds of picture 1 into an open area of the canvas.
I can't figure out why that would be a useful design characteristic and how to change the situation to make the imported pictures visible on the expanded canvas.

Probably something simple.
