It didn't even click that it didn't belong with the "Styles" bar.  This is bad.  That should never happen.  Why is that checkbox even shown all of the time now?  What was wrong with the way it was in Safari 5's inspector where it was only shown when the computed style section was expanded?  Clicking it does nothing if you're not looking at computed styles.  That makes no sense.

Then it should do something (expand "Computed Styles") when you click it.  It's incredibly awkward to have a checkbox there that appears to do nothing unless you happen to have that section expanded.

I still think the previous behavior is better though.  If its not checked by default then it shouldn't have such a prominent place in the UI.

(This discussion should probably continue in another bug before this gets too sidetracked from the wandering gear menu.)
