This was the case until recently. There was a checkbox (unchecked by default,
IIRC) which one had to check off to change block settings. I don't know what
the problem was with that - it seemed perfectly sensible to me that
1) You would require active confirmation for something like that and
2) You would use a checkbox in exactly that manner to do it

So, probably it is a simple revert of whatever commit changed that.
