Another little video, just a one minute demo, first with the shear tool in layer mode, then selection mode. https://i.imgur.com/FHdmvfd.mp4 It could be you are in selection mode, but difficult to say.
OK I have watched the video and I think that I am doing the same as you are. The progress icon is not getting stuck. The circle in the middle of the trellis was in the image I copied and pasted. The timer appears to finish then nothing else happens. What I see in your video is that the there is a new paste layer created. That does not happen in mine (I do see the paste layer when cutting and pasting). I have captured a video, attached, of what happens for me (see google drive link below). At the end of the video I am cannot interact with the layer, the skewed outline just stays there. I can undo. I can also interact with the Gimp menu items, so Gimp has not crashed.
The background layer is 600 x 400. I have tried it with the image in a separate layer, rather than the background. Same result.

Thank you for your interest. Hopefully the video will answer most of your questions. Please let me know if there is any more information you need.
