QgsMapCanvas layers disappear on canvas panning/zooming

Question

I am trying to write a plugin that will show an image based on its footprint in the vector layer. Currently, I have a problem with QgsMapCanvas. Layer in QgsMapCanvas disappear when I pan/zoom canvas. Here's my code:

myPlugin.py

def startOblique(self):
        self.dlgSec.canvas_dlg.show()
                
        self.dlgSec.canvas_dlg.enableAntiAliasing(True)
        
        newRaster = QgsRasterLayer(r'D:\basic\FRONT\B002_0891.tif','Raster1')
        print(newRaster)
        print(self.dlgSec.canvas_dlg)

        self.dlgSec.canvas_dlg.setLayers([newRaster])
        self.dlgSec.canvas_dlg.setExtent(newRaster.extent())
        
        self.dlgSec.canvas_dlg.refresh()
        self.dlgSec.canvas_dlg.waitWhileRendering()

def run(self):
        if self.first_start == True:
            self.first_start = False
            self.dlg = test1Dialog()
            self.dlgSec = test2Dialog()
            
        project = QgsProject.instance()
        # show the dialogs
        self.dlg.show()
        self.dlgSec.show()
        
        self.dlg.oblique_starter.clicked.connect(self.startOblique)

When I click oblique_starter button I get this: So, everything is fine by now. Raster is on the canvas. When I try to pan/zoom on the canvas raster disappears so I get this:

Extra info: When I execute simple code to show canvas and raster layer inside python console on QGIS I can pan and zoom layer and it doesn't disappear:

canvas = QgsMapCanvas()
canvas.enableAntiAliasing(True)

newRaster = QgsRasterLayer(r'D:\basic\FRONT\B002_0891.tif','Raster1')

canvas.setExtent(newRaster.extent())
canvas.setLayers([newRaster])

canvas.resize(QSize(1366, 1064))
canvas.show()

What can I do to prevent the layer from disappearing from the canvas in my plugin?

Seems like QgsMapCanvas layers are cleared every time the extents are changed. I don't know whether it is the desired behaviour. So, I have to reinitiate QgsMapCanvas with layers every time extents change. Like this:

def refreshOblique(self):
        print("extents changed")
        self.dlgSec.canvas_dlg.setLayers(self.layers)
        self.dlgSec.canvas_dlg.refresh()
        self.dlgSec.canvas_dlg.waitWhileRendering()
        print("extent center: {},{}".format(self.dlgSec.canvas_dlg.center().x(), self.dlgSec.canvas_dlg.center().y()))
        print("layers: {}".format(self.dlgSec.canvas_dlg.layers()))

def run(self):
        #previous code
        self.dlgSec.canvas_dlg.extentsChanged.connect(self.refreshOblique)

Without setting setLayers in refreshOblique function I get

layers: []

instead of raster:

 layers: [<qgis._core.QgsRasterLayer object at 0x00000234434853A8>]
