    Description

      • navigate to /admin/
      • turn editing on
      • configure the Administration block
      • change "Display on page types" to "The current site administration page"
      • The block is now hidden from non admin pages (expected)
      • configure the Administration block again (from /admin/)
      • Option for "Any page" is removed from "Display on page types" and the block is forever lost from non admin pages.

      I had to fix this manually by setting pagetypepattern='*' in block_instances table for the settings id

      Seems this line is to blame in code: https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/MOODLE_29_STABLE/lib/blocklib.php#L1844 because currentcontext and parentcontext are the same.
