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?
