Can't create blocks with same names in different projects - causes exception [FIXED]

Note: the error message for this case states: "Error: reusing a block spec is not yet supported"
So I am not sure if this is a bug or a not yet implemented feature.

There are two ways to create the problem:

Method 1: Create a block with name in two different projects using the same name
To re-create:
1) Click "Make a block"
2) give it the name "stepper" (or whatever)
3) Click New to create a new project
4) Repeat steps 1 and 2 and you will get the following

Method 2: Delete a block you make then try and re-create a block using the same name
To re-create:
1) Click "Make a block"
2) give it the name "stepper" (or whatever)
3) drag the block into the ?blocks area? and confirm "Are you sure you want to delete a block named stepper"
4) Repeat steps 1 and 2 and you will get the following

This issue fixed in V51.
But separate issue occur where you can name two blocks with same name in the same project and yet they can have different behaviors.
Same for both class and shared blocks

In v54:

Fixed: Can create shared blocks with same name in two different projects
Not Fixed: Can still create shared block with the same name in the same project

So for the issue described in the Subject: FIXED

I will create a separate issue for the same shared block name in same project
