Newly pasted layer is invisible when not over the image

[soursop]

Using Gimp 2.10 on a Mac.


When I copy a selection of an image and then paste it as a new layer, it's not visible when it's not over the original image. See, for example, this:

what must i do? Even if I increase the canvas size, it still doesn't appear
