Here's how the 'override limits' box is intended to work: When you are on a physical limit switch, click "Override Limit". The checkbox will show a check mark. Hit F2 or click the icon to go to machine on. Then you may make one jog in the direction "away from" the limit switch (or one jog in any direction, if both limit switch inputs on that axis are TRUE).
If you're not on any limit switch, clicking "Override Limit" has no effect (clicking it may show a check mark for a fraction of a second). "Override limit" still will not allow you to move beyond the soft limits defined in the inifile, and it will not allow gcode to execute which moves beyond the soft limits or onto a limit switch. If this description of Override Limit still doesn't jibe with what you see emc doing, please give more step-by-step detail of what you are doing and what the machine / emc / axis are doing in response. In emc 2.3, the override button will have several improvements that I hope will make its function less mysterious. First, on a machine without any limit switches, the button simply won't appear. Second, when no limit switch input is TRUE, the override button will be greyed out and unresponsive to clicks or keypresses.
