I'm trying to add layers to an existing image (photograph) using GIMP 2.10. The purpose is to create a frame that is larger than the image. By having it in a separate layer the color can be altered and optionally text added without having any affect on the photograph.
When using the "Add Layer" (also called "New Layer") selection GIMP seems to create something that is larger but the transparent part is limited to the same space as the original layer. Then when performing "Fill with FG Color" the only part that is filled is the transparent part occupying the same space as the original layer.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug or possibly something that can't be done by design?
