No overlay for a computer block? (Possibly a bug?)

[velvetmist]

I've used FocusMe for years now, and I think it used to be that if you ticked "Block Computer" under Plan Type, it would use a blue overlay to block you out of your computer when your rules were triggered. I find that this no longer happens. My rules that block me out of my computer hourly to encourage movement. They're still triggered, but everything simply minimizes, and I can still see my desktop; I just can't open anything effectively. 

I miss the overlay; my brain is more irritated by a screen I can see and technically interact with, even if only to have apps minimize immediately again as my rules are still in place. 

I also notice that when I select "Block Computer" as a feature, my selection is often removed on subsequent edits of my settings.

Is there some setting I'm missing or is something wrong?
