Meaning
Caption overlap occurs when two or more subtitle intervals are active at the same time.
A practical example
A cue covering seconds 1–4 overlaps one covering seconds 3–5 for one second, even if their text appears on separate lines.
What to check
Overlap can be deliberate. Inspect the intended player and speaker layout before deleting or moving cues merely to silence a warning.
