Blender Version
Broken: 2.8x
Worked: 2.79

Short description of error
Filled objects have an outline even if overlays are turned off.
For demonstration, here's a filled plane and an unfilled circle hovering over another plane.

The same scene with overlays turned off:

You can see that the outline of the plane stays on even when overlays are turned off.

In 2.79, if you put a smaller plane hovering over another plane and look in top view, there's no outline, which is more accurate.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
open attached file
outlined.blend
click the toggle to turn off overlays

Outline is part of the "Viewport shading" menu:

Oh, that's weird, I don't get why it's not in the overlays panel. Or why the outline of the plane doesn't behave like the circle's.

I will close this because strictly speaking this is not a bug.

It would make sense to me to have object outline under overlay menu, but I will leave this up to UI team to reopen if they agree.

Tagging the viewport team, they may be able to comment on why this wasn't implemented as an overlay.

@fclem / @Jeroen-Bakker Any input here? Would be nice to have it for the record. If there's a reason for this to not be an overlay we could just close this task.

This is not an overlay because it's a feature of the workbench engine. These outlines will not be overlaid on top of other renderer.

Thanks. In that case I wouldn't even consider this a papercut, it's properly organized. It would be nice if we could make the title / label of that popover context dependent though, it could be whichever render engine was active for the viewport.
