Issue Summary
I'm trying to create a content admin page using QT with three tabs. The first two display views, and they work just fine. For the third one, I want to display a menu block, but it won't display. I've tried displaying other blocks such as Login and Primary Links, and they won't display either. If I make the menu block the first tab, it displays the empty text from one of the views.

Hi, I don't know much about QT nor do I use, but mabey this small suggestion will work. Try making a tab to a "page" content type and configure your menu block to be shown on that page rather than try to directly show the menu block. Configure your menu block to be shown in the content section of the page. I hope this helps. Best wishes.

I guess this is the same issue I'm having. My node (tab view set to display node) does not display the associated block.
Just to be clear with this, if I have a tab page at node/10, and I set any block to display in 'content', it will display as expected below tab display.
But if one of my tab pages is set to node, lets say node/20, the associated block set to display in 'content' won't display.
As I'm writing this I guess I can see the issue - the whole content area I guess is taken up with quicktabs. I will experiment with block in a different location.
EDIT: ok, so the location of the block made no difference. It doesn't display.

Sorry to reply to my own post, but I guess what I was expecting was silly. Of course, QT is a block, so display blocks inside blocks is unlikely to happen.
I solved my problem by using Panels, and in particular Panel Node. This enabled the display of a node, and a referenced node. This actually makes more sense that using blocks anyway.
