I am currently unable to to change block settings (home>administe>blocks) for any theme other than the one I currently have set as the default. When I attempt to select a different theme the settings displayed remain those for the default theme and the theme previewed remains unchanged as well. When the default theme is changed, the settings still remain as they were for the old default theme. The only exception to this is when a two collum theme is selected in place as default in place of the three collum default it was stuck on. At that point the block settings for all themes are stuck on that of the two collum theme.

I had this exact same thing happen once before and I blamed it on og or og_block_visibility and tac_light having a conflict. However this time I started having the problem immediately after using og_block_visibility to restrict visibility of the shoutbox which is what I'd just done when this happened before. Could that be a factor in any way?

Also Installed that I guess could be contributing factors are views, actions, CCK, og_roles, og, tinymce, gallery, images, workflow, and assorted filters and the little stuff you'd expect for a social networking type site.

Any idea what could be going on here?

This bug seems to occur when the theme is initiated by a contrib module before block module can set the $custom_theme value. This results from a too-early theme() call. You could try disabling the contrib modules one by one and testing block configuration to see in which module it's happening.

It was codefilter, of all things. That would have been one of the last ones I've have guessed.

It looks like the new tables module was doing it as well.

For me is was Workflow-ng turned it off and then it all worked.
See http://drupal.org/node/183027

this behaviour is quite awkward. I tracked the bug in workflow-ng down and it was simple call to t() with a % placeholder causing this.

Once I configure one custom block to show in what used to be the main theme, I have been unable to get it to display in any other theme.

Tried everything, removed conditions for display, made the other theme the default flushed the cache...
I even removed all contrib modules and nothing and disabled path too.

At first I thought it was because my user was using a theme other than the default. Even changed my personal theme to match the default... Nothing.

I am using mod rewrite (friendly urls) and multi site (I am testing on the main site) 4.7.2.

Any clue?

I've got this problem, too. In my case, it is the search block. It shows up in the default theme. But not in any of the other themes. When I check under administer->block->theme settings the block is enabled and shows up with a proper weight. But it doensn't display. I have confirmed that the theme's css doesn't have a display: none; attributed to the div.

My guess is that I have the exact same problem you have.
