Width to the column blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.. Very cool feature!
Adding 4 columns no percentage is seen in any of the boxes until one begins to move the slider or write a percentage inside of it. It would be nice to by default show percentage numbers.

I added 4 colums and began playing with the percentages. Numbers that have a comma is not seen such as: 23,33 or 45,45. Round numbers such as 10,20 etc are fully seen in the box. It would be good widen the box so that numbers that require more space is fully seen inside the box.

Adding an image inside a very small column makes the image dialog box very squished. Should a modul show up instead?

I find it very difficult in selecting a column when I have added content inside of them.

Post Content or excerptExcerpt An excerpt is the description of the blog post or page that will by default show on the blog archive page, in search results (SERPs), and on social media. With an SEO plugin, the excerpt may also be in that plugin’s metabox. in the Latest Posts block.
Post Content -> Excerpt and selecting max number of words is working nicely!
Post Content -> Full Post. If there is a mix of Classic and Gutenberg posts error might show up. I added this issue:
https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/15719

Headers and footers in the Table block.
I have tested briefly and really do not know what the difference is between the regular cells and the headerHeader The header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of your website. It can influence a visitor’s opinion about your content and you/ your organization’s brand. It may also look different on different screen sizes. and footer areas… It acts just like the regular table cells. (I will need to do some research to figure this one out.)

That is what I tested for now.
