      1. Create a category
      2. Create a course underneath the category
      3. View the category and turn editing on
      4. Add a block that includes the "page contexts" setting (e.g. HTML block)
      5. Edit the settings and change the setting "page contexts" to the 2nd option ("Display on category:[category name] and any pages within it").
      6. Save settings
      7. Re-edit settings - previously set page context still be set.

      Also, verify that there are no regressions when editing blocks elsewhere. Test changing this setting for blocks in all sorts of contexts:
      a. Front page
      b. Admin notifications (system context)
      c. Course category page (done above!)
      d. Course page
      e. Module page
      f. User profile page

      On a clean install of Moodle 2.2.1+ / 2.1.4+:

      1. Create a category
      2. Create a course underneath the category
      3. View the category and turn editing on
      4. Add a block that includes the "page contexts" setting (e.g. HTML block)
      5. Edit the settings and change the setting "page contexts" to the 2nd option ("Display on category:[category name] and any pages within it").
      6. Save settings
      7. Re-edit settings - previously set page context will not have been stored.

      This is true for upgraded installations - the setting will retain whatever it was set to before the upgrade, and will ignore any changes to the setting.
