 Currently, the overview defaults to the extent of the largest layer in the
 qgis project. Often, there is a layer that is beyond the extent of what
 you want to see in an overview. E.g., there may be a file that covers all
 of Europe, but you only want the overview map to show the outline of
 Germany, the area of primary interest. If the overview is only showing the
 outline of Germany, it should only cover the extents of Germany, not all
 of Europe.
