Context does not add blocks to specific theme region [#1261348]

Blocks added to a created theme region are evaluating to blank even when context is active.

I'm using a Zen subtheme. Commenting out zen_blocks does not change it.

Adding that same block to the region via the Block module will display it.

I think this is a major bug but will leave it to others to mark the priority. I've been developing with Context and Zen for a year or so now and never seen this bug before.

Steps to replicate:

Zen theme, context. Create a new region. Add blocks to it with context.

This is the bug over at the Zen module.

Alright, I figured out what's causing this bug.

Bug: Unable to populate theme region via context (but possible through block module)

More reporting:

Context inspector shows the context as the only active context
Blocks can be added to other theme regions

Here's the fix:
Under Conditions->Context I had "~other_context".

Removing that causes the context to populate the region with content.

....and here's the context that works:

$context = new stdClass;
$context->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default context disabled initially */
$context->api_version = 3;
$context->name = 'client_publications';
$context->description = 'Active on publication pages that are not books or the books landing page.';
$context->tag = 'publications';
$context->conditions = array(
  'node' => array(
    'values' => array(
      'publication' => 'publication',

      'node_form' => '0',

      4 => 4,
      5 => 5,
      6 => 6,

      8 => 8,
      334 => 334,

This is a zen bug I've come across before. I think it has nothing to do with context.

I remember it being fixed in zen, but can't find the specific issue. Anyhow, just make sure you are using v. 6.x-2.1 or higher of zen and it will work.

Cheers,

Albert.
