What should be done to fill the enlarged area with any of these options? 

It appears to only work with the "Current layer only" option.

Ofnuts, I checked and you are right. Which led me to doubt because I thought I had tested this option (current layer only ) before and had also been unsuccessful. 

♥ - In fact, I had actually tested this, but I had extended the canvas, and although the layer boundary was visibly delimited, indicating that there was the desired magnification, the fill was not visible outside the canvas.
       

♦ - But if the magnification occurs within the canvas, then in this case the fill is visible.
   

♣ - Fill is only visible within the canvas, although magnification occurs as desired.
♣ - Case - Image - Fit canvas to layers, the fill beyond canvas is revealed.
   

But while doing this check, I found difficulty with filling with Pattern:

After using a pattern, it will always be the same. I could not use others.

• I tried to use other patterns, but the fill was always done with the same.
  
• I opened a new image and selected another pattern. No effect.
  
• I changed the Fill to White, ok it filled with white, but when I tried to refill with a pattern, even though I had another selected, the fill was still the first pattern used.
  
• I reset default values - it was no use.
  

I was able to use another Pattern just after restarting Gimp. But then this pattern became the chosen one of the time.

Would there be a simple way you can use freeform pattern padding by changing the chosen pattern? 
Thx.
