When i click the Block button when i'm in a conversation, nothing happens. After a Gaim restart it still didn't work so i guess it's reproducible. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start conversation 2. Click Block icon 3. Actual Results: person didn't get blocked. (nothing happens at all) Expected Results: block person.

Which protocol are you using?
MSN
Just tested with .79-r2 and it worked. It turned me offline to that person and they couldn't IM me till I took them off. I could still IM them and have a conversation.
I use rc2 too now. As stated above, it does work. I appear offline to people but i can still continue my conversation. The real problem seems to be that i can't unblock people anymore since gaim thinks that person isn't blocked yet while they are.
So if you go to Tools->Privacy on the Buddy list and select your MSN account they don't show up in the list? Can you try to allow all?
Oh my... seems like it could've been my mistake after all. I just expected things differently. When i click Block in a conversation, the block button doesn't go away, or change into an unblock button. Also the text i send is still received on the other side it seems. Anyway i guess Gaim just does it's work, just a bit differently from what i expected.
Alright then I'll close this out. Feel free to file an RFE upstream for an "unblock" button if you'd like, but I doubt they'll implement it if there is a present solution.
