[support] editing block content question

[Jean Gazis]

By blocks, I mean the things that are called "blocks" on the admin menus,
that usually go in the side columns. If I go "add block" and make a new one,
such as random quote or related links, then I am able to go back later and
edit it, but if I pick it off the list, I can't, and if I made a block in
4.7, it became uneditable in 5, i.e., when I go to configure the block, I
see no block content, just the placement and visibility options. I am user 1
and as far as I know have given myself all the permissions. Either way, why
would blocks I create behave differently than the ones that are already
available, such as the standard menu blocks?
