System Information
Windows 7 64-bit, Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family

Blender Version
Broken: (example: 2.69.7 4b206af, see splash screen)

Short description of error
Enabling Region Overlap setting in the user preferences doesn't change the behavior of the tool and properties window in the node editor.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

User Preferences -> System header -> Check "Region Overlap"
Go to Node Editor -> Use Nodes -> Input a few random nodes for context
Press 'T' and 'N' hotkeys.

Seems that this is by design, region overlap usage is only whitelisted for a few specific editor types:

Don't know the rationale for this, will leave it to the UI mafia to check.

Yeah I think it was mostly because the sliders didn't compensate for overlapping regions. Also pretty low priority to fix.

There's no particular reason to reinvestigate the design now because it happened to be reported as a bug, so closing.
