When a block is selected, because the block toolbar and other UI flows out of the sidebar like this:

buttons-terrible-shape

... it would be nice that clicking in the preview could hide the overflowing block UI by deselecting the selected block. I marked this as an enhancement but, for all practical purposes it's very annoying on smaller screen real estate.

I believe this should have a higher priority as it basically block anything under the toolbar from being clicked.

Apart from clicking the preview, IMO clicking on anywhere outside the editor should clear the selection, like the section title or the empty space below the editor for instance.
