The whole issue here is that increasing the canvas size doesn't make the background layer bigger. There are a couple of ways to work around that: - after increasing the canvas size right-click on the background layer and choose "Layer to Image Size" - after pasting the selection it will show up as "Floating Selection" in the Layers window. Right-click on it and select "New Layer". This makes the inserted bit a new layer that you can move around freely on the canvas. It has the advantage that you can always manipulate independently from the rest of the image.
