Two problems:

First, after editing content of a Node set as a block, the block drops down to "Disabled" and I have to go back and move it back into it's proper region.

Second, I've got a lot of content in the node that is set as a block. I've got a teaser break after the first paragraph. The first paragraph shows up in the block as it should, but there is no "Read More" link that you would normally see with content nodes.

It's a fantastic little module. I appreciate all of your work on it.

Update - Also want to note that in editing the content node (or creating a new node), in the "Provide a block" settings, the "Region" setting drop down only shows . None of the block regions show up.

I can confirm the same behaviours ...

I "solved" the read more link for me in the nodeasblock.tpl.php:

print $content;

$urlpath = 'node/'.$node->nid; print drupal_get_path_alias($urlpath); ">
print t('read more')

if ($edit_link):

print $edit_link

endif;

I would also like to confirm that upon editing the node itself, it drops out of the region specified and ends up in the "none" area. Then, I have to go back in and re-pick it - which defeats a lot of the purpose of giving the end user a node in there to edit (won't have to edit blocks).
The module is awesome. I am happy to test any patches or fixes you may have to offer, unfortunately my PHP skills aren't so tip top in order to fix.
Thanks!

It happened to me, too: after editing a node (set as a block), the block was disabled in the <none> state.
I was missing my "content type" configuration: in the edit page of the content type which the node belongs to (say Story), I had to go in the "Node as block settings" tab and select one or more of the items in "Select allowed regions for these blocks".
Without this setting, the edited node block cannot be allowed to show in a region.
I solved my issue in this way. Hope this can help.
