I just realized that the "Use this page in an admin overlay" in Page manager is visible even if the Overlay module isn't enabled. This is a feature request to change this. No biggie.

The feature doesn't really require overlay module to be enabled. For example, it could be exported. If overlay is later turned on, then it would just work. At best we might want to specify that overlay module should be enabled.

I believe it also makes the page viewed in the administrative theme, so just saying 'overlay' isn't accurate.

Huh, I just tested this, and it seems that the setting doesn't actually do anything right now.

My first conclusion was that the overlay is only enabled if the page is classed as an administrative page – "/admin/foo" opens in an overlay, but "/foo" opens as a regular page.
Then I realized that the same thing happens even if the "Use this page in an admin overlay" option isn't checked.

I'm reporting this as a separate issue.

There! #1396212: Make "Use this page in an admin overlay" actually alter overlay behaviour

Closing this as a duplicate. (Just realized that I could just as well have changed the topic on this issue, but what the heck.)
