Ok, I blocked and unblocked SithToast a couple times to show him what a pop-up toast was This happened o.O:

that's normal. blocking someone is not instant, it may take up to one or two seconds. in that time, you can see places where messenger say he's blocked and other places where he isn't

It stayed like that and did not change until it blocked and un-blocked him again (10 minutes later)

again "normal"...

This is the same beheviour as if you block/unblock an entire group rapidly or multiple times (you will notice the result/beheviour much better). You need to give Messenger and the servers some time to process the block/unblock, otherwise they will be confussed. (It only takes 1 packet to be lost/out of sync/whatever and the indicator will not show the correct status)

However, this could be prevented I imagine, but this is far from top priority I asume (as blocking/unblocking isn't meant to do multiple times after each other (before the previous status is processed))...

If you wish you could report the "bug" to MSN:
