Have you tried opening admin links in new tabs and it did not work as
it did before?
Of course it works. But they open in the overlay again, which presents
me with a smaller working area, and really nothing added except a
shiny-looking AJAX / JS annoyance. If people are doing opening Overlay
in tabs anyways, what is the point of having Overlay at all?
Anyways, I will follow up in the issue Ezra posted.

Hi Brian,

before (open the given admin page in the Seven theme without an
overlay). So I think it is in no way against your preferred use of
tabbed browsing. (Ezra already pointed to

Hi all.
I've been using D7 to get familiar with it, testing / writing patches, and
to begin porting my contrib module. It is awesome, but the one thing that
sticks out to me is the inclusion of Overlay in core.
Why are we including Overlay enabled by default in core? What functional
purpose does it serve beyond eye-candy? I realize that it potentially
allows you to remain on your current front-end page while doing some admin
tasks, but isn't that why tabbed browsing was invented? This breaks anyways
when you get redirected with a drupal_goto() somewhere.
My biggest complaint is that It slows down the admin work of the site
considerably, at least in my workflow.
I don't mean to take away from the work that was put into overlay - some
very talented people have put a lot of time and effort into building it,
polishing it, and fixing some oddball performance issues. But it just
doesn't seem to stick with the core philosophy.
At least this module should be disabled by default in core.
