Menu
when I do a canvas resize of an image, it leaves a new transparent area. I would like to fill that area with a color but Gimp 2.8 won't allow me to select it to fill it. I must be missing a step. Please help.

Select the bucket fill tool or hit Shift + B . Within the Bucket Fill toolbox options, select Fill transparent areas only when necessary.
With the new layer selected, choosing “Edit” in the menu bar, then “Fill,” opens the Fill dialog box. In this dialog box, the user should select “Foreground Color” so that the fill will be made with the previously selected color, as well as an Opacity percentage.
Click the Background button. A Change Background Color dialog box will open. Select a color, then OK. Then click the Edit tab on the menu bar and select Fill with BG Color from the drop-down list.
Command in menu Image -> Flatten Image will fill transparent area with current background color selection (as hinted by pop-up help when you select it - "... remove transparency"), making exactly what you asked in one simple step (tested in Gimp 2.8).
