I would prefer to have a setting for how much void space I want
between the image border and the ruler. That way the image is the
desired size (no canvas resize), but you have more space and do not
collide with the rulers or other widgets when painting, for example.
Like when you zoom out, you can see space, but being able to see it
too even if zoomed in or a really big image.

Current does not leave any borders (supose 300 * 300 image in a window
that displays 300 * 300 fine, scrollbars and other widgets not shown):

100%   50% 200%

 # Image - visible (inside window)
 @ GTK bg
 * Image - not visible (outside window)

Of course, here with ASCII art it looks crude (1/3 of window wasted
can be too much), but if the value is controlable (0..2048 pix for
example), it should be nice (most people would set it to the size of
current biggest brush, I guess, or at least half the size of brush).

Did this go away?  I don't have the very latest installed on this machine,
but the version I have here does it...

Start with an image, say 200 X 200

->Image->Canvas Size. Set the canvas to be larger (Say 800 X 800)
Use the positioning widget at the bottom of the dialog box to position the layer
somewhere in the middle of the canvas. Select OK.

You can now pan to the edge or over the edge of the image-bearing layer.

You can use the Move Tool to shove the layer to one side, even outside the
current viewing frame. Note that the Move Tool needs a (somewhat opaque)
part of the image to grab on to.

If you lose track of where the layer is on the canvas, zoom way out.

Hope this is what you want.

Be good, be well
