There's a hardwired MIN_PINORVIACOPPER which is 4 mils, so you
can't make your hole bigger than the via diameter - 4 mils.  Maybe it should
be radius - 4 mils? and maybe it should be configurable, but anyway,
just increase the hole diameter, click OK, and bring up the route style
editing again and you should be able to increase the hole size.  It's
a bug that you can't increase both in tandem within the same edit.
