I've had Paint tool sai for about a month and haven't had any problem with it till now

Aver so often when i Copy and paste something from one Canvas(in sai) to another canvas(also in sai) nothing will show up but it'll make another layer like there is

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Usually it means that it pasted outside your 2nd file's canvas area. The fastest way to find it outside the canvas area (the grey area) is to Transform the layer, zoom out to find it, and then drag it into the canvas window. It does this bc it copies both the artwork AND the location it was in, then pastes it in that same location if your 2nd file is smaller than the 1st. I wish it'd appear in the middle like Photoshop's does, but that's how you can easily find it

No problem! I used to wonder about the issue years ago when I first used it and I just realized recently that the fastest way to find it (originally I just randomly used ctrl+my arrow keys to bring it into view like a derp) was to make the layer set to Transform lol
