Map overview seems broken (tested on 15 machines, various OSs, about half not working). I suspect this has been opened already, but cannot find it.

For a couple of weeks now, click on the [ ] show in overview right-click menu item fails to update overview with the specified layer unless you deactivate and reactivate the layer. Is this what you're referring to?

Not really: just adding a map to an overview fails to show any map in about half of the cases

I've noticed one issue with the overview map in Master - if a map item is set to 'rectangle' mode then overview frames are not shown when the composer is exported. Could this explain what you were experiencing Paolo?

I don't think the issue is this. Paolo is referring to the overview is available in the QGIS main window (right click a layer -> add to overview).

Exactly. It seems to work on current master in Debian though. Must be checked on Win.
