If you just use the 2021 theme as an example, and you add a container and add a bg to it to see the issue easily , the alignment by default is NOT full width, we have a toggle for wide and for full, so the default should be narrow, not 100% of the editor. you apply the follow style on the back end for the alignment if nothing is added...

body .wp-block[data-type^="toolset"]:not([data-align^="full"]), body div:not([class]) > .block-editor-block-list__layout > .wp-block:not([data-align^="full"]), body .tb-container > .block-editor-inner-blocks > .block-editor-block-list__layout > .wp-block:not([data-align^="full"]) {
max-width: 100% !important;
width: 100% !important;
}

I always override this in my editor-styles with something like the below, but I'm confused why the above is ever needed because you are forcing a "normal" aligned block to become an align-full basically there are alignment in most themes for the .wp-block class I see no reason to override that on an non-aligned block

.wp-block,
.wp-block[data-type^="toolset"]:not([data-align^="full"]),
div:not([class]) > .block-editor-block-list__layout > .wp-block:not([data-align^="full"]),
.tb-container > .block-editor-inner-blocks > .block-editor-block-list__layout > .wp-block:not([data-align^="full"]) {
max-width: $wrapper-width-base !important;
z-index: 10;
}

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

I was able to reproduce this behaviour on my test website too and noticed that with the default block alignment setting, the container block covers the full available width of the editor.

I've shared this feedback with the concerned team for further review and appreciate you brought this forward.

regards,
Waqar
