[Bug 1892104] [NEW] Block config needs to mention what type of block it is

 

Public bug reported:

Currently if we add a block to a page it is a 'placeholder' block

When we choose another blocktype and save (without changing title) and
then edit it again it is not obvious what type of block it is.

We can normally tell by the fields shown but with peer assessment and
text block they look very similar so can be confusing.

If we delete the title and save the block and edit it again it shows
what type of block it is.

But it would be better if the block showed the blocktype in the heading
bar when chosen / on edit all the time
