Any help or advice is appreciated
It sounds similar to the problem I was having (which Yoshi was kind enough to debug for me).

My problem was caused by mix-mapping, and basically having two blocks with exactly the same coordinates, which confuses and breaks the puzzle script. In my case, one of the blocks was Lagoon 4-6-1, a pillar which automatically extends to the ground (and counts as sitting ON the ground, not in the air). In my map it was extending *through* a block that was also sitting on the ground (which I had placed intersectiing the pillar via mix-mapping), and I simply had to move the support pillar to a clear space.

Perhaps look more closely at any areas where mix-mapping was used, and potential overlapping blocks while waiting for Yoshi to respond?

Yea, that indeed sounds like the same issue. If the base coordinates of two blocks equal, the "unique ids" assigned to blocks (by Nando, I can't get any other unique reference to blocks without complicating it a lot) are no longer unique as they're solely based on position...

Ah, that would most likely be my problem then. I've got some fairly heavy blockmixing going on, so there's probably multiple overlapping blocks. That's a shame, but I'll take a look and report back if things are still broken.

Editing a puzzle map is the only way to play the it in puzzle mode.
Do you see the blocks and just can't select them?
Then try clicking on the top outline of the block.
If that's not helping: Are you sure you changed the script file names after you saved your map?
Did you hit validate and calculated the shadows before you saved the map?

»SM» Val-play's problem also had to do with blockmixing.
I updated the rules now

Can we keep blockmixing in? My map would be disqualified if blockmixing suddenly breaks the rules. Just make an obvious note to not mix two blocks into each other and you should be fine.
