while logic makes sense,  i think the option should be renamed if this is 
done. It is very unintuitive. I would never think of checking an option "Allow 
Growing" to prevent layers getting cropped. From photo cutting POV it is a 
good feature to have tho, missed it many a time in my photo editing. Perhaps 
it should be called "Cut/grow canvas only"?

Best,
