In SPIGOT-5459 the permission node `minecraft.debugstick.always` was added to permit debug stick usage in survival. This does work for state changes, but it does not work for state selection.

For example, I could right click to change the "facing" property of stairs but I cannot left click to change to the "waterlogged" state. I have to switch to creative in order to change which property I'm adjusting and then switch back to survival, which defeats the point.

A fix would be greatly appreciated as I have a large number of stairs and glazed terracotta to place.
