There are some visually appealing layouts that require the help of client side JS libraries. Examples are masonry layout or sliders. As long as those JS libs do change only styles and do not change the HTML structure of the page, they are compatible with Layout paragraphs, even in admin mode.
But those libs need to update their layout information when their children components or their parent container are changed. Basically all those libs offer a function to trigger a reflow, but they need the info when to trigger the reflow.
(Note: Do not use jQuery "slick" lib or sliders in carousel-mode in admin, these libs modify the HTML source on clienbt side and would break any Drupal admin functionality.)
Add a Drupal behavior to the all Ajax responses, firing a custom JS event. A developer then can react in his own JS assets to the fired event.
Find out which events to fire. I suggest 2 custom events:
layout_paragraphs_window_updated - fired after any CRUD action on the window objectlayout_paragraphs_component_updated - fired after any CRUD action on container level (<div> of the layout or content paragraph entity)Active

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
This would be extremely useful. I was hoping these events already existed, but I guess they do not. I'm currently debating how to handle a slider. Without an event, I may just have to add the text "Please save this page to see updated component." which isn't the bet UX for the admin.
