STEPS to REPRODUCE:
1. New file
2. Be in model space
3. Select a Layout block
Drawing Scale pulldown NOT visible in toolbar (next to PDF icon)
BUT...
1. Be in model space
2. Execute "print current view"
3. Select a Layout block
Drawing Scale pulldown IS visible in toolbar

Overall drawing scale should only be used when printing the model space directly.
In layouts, use viewports for scaling instead:

https://qcad.org/en/tutorial-2-4-layouts-and-viewports/
Behavior changed for QCAD v3.32.0, see QCAD Changelog.
Your step 3 is "Edit a Layout Block".
The difference is that a Block can be selected in the Block List without being edited.
I can replicate that the Scale option is not disabled using your second sequence.
Also not disabled with "Print Window...".
But as intended with "Print Preview".
