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?

What do you mean by block?  Does your database user have the correct
permissions to be able to update the data?  Does the access control for
the user doing the editing have permissions to edit the ``block''?
