Use this javascript code to add classes to the .is-root-container block just following the .editor-styles-wrapper block. Those classes are here to mimick front-end breakpoints because of ineffectiveness of media queries. See https://sebastien-meric.com/gutenberg-responsive-container-queries/ (in french).
/**
* Philip Walton implementation of "container queries"
*
* Use inline javascript to add classes to the .block-editor__typewriter block just following
* the .editor-styles-wrapper block. Those classes are here to mimick front-end breakpoints.
* As .editor-styles-wrapper container replaces front-end body and because of the 2 sidebars
* (WordPress left menu and Gutenberg right settings sidebar), traditional media queries could
* be very complicated to use. By using those classes for breakpoints it is much more easier
* to simulate front-end sidebars in the back-end editor.
*
* Classes and breakpoints :
* .small-container class added beyond 1px width
* .medium-container class added beyond 992px width
* .large-container class added beyond 1170px width
*
* @see https://philipwalton.com/articles/responsive-components-a-solution-to-the-container-queries-problem/
