You can't disable the overlay module once enabled. The tabs 'configuration' and 'modules' disappear in the overlay.
I couldn't even go to the normal /admin page. I got an 'page not found'.

I had to disable the module in the database and clear the cache to disable the overlay module!

Didn't know there was a link on the admin page directly to 'modules'. Can't seem to get used to the new admin layout.

Still the tabs 'configuration' and 'modules' disappear in the overlay.

Which browser are you using? Can you supply a screenshot of what it looks like?

The local tasks/tabs are definitely supposed to be there. If they aren't showing up at all on some browsers, then it definitely would be a critical bug because it makes navigating parts of the site virtually impossible.

I checked all the main browsers on Windows, and I detected this issue only in IE6 and 7 ( I believe that overlay will not support IE6 ).

The overlay-parent.js script breaks at line 534: $('.ui-dialog-titlebar').append($(tabs).remove().get(0)); and the tabs doesn't get attached to the main document.
The script breaks because of an Invalid argument at line 958 on jquery.js (uncompressed); googling it, I find that it occurs mostly due to malformed HTML, but the HTML seems ok and is the same produced on IE8 :\

#615130: Overlay locks up the browser and consumes 100% of CPU for certain browsers/graphics cards/operating systems fixes this most likely. Hopefully the current patch will land in a few days, which will improve performance and fix a few bugs as well. After it's landed, please check again!
