Set Web Inspector to open attached to current window (Safari 5.1)

Okay, this is going to drive me nuts:

I just upgraded to Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard, and now whenever I open the web inspector (Developer feature), it opens in a separate window. It used to default to opening within the current window, which is what I prefer. Now I have to hunt down the 'Dock to main window' button everytime I want to inspect a page's code!


Any help would be much appreciated; I'm curious if this occurs for others or if this is a conflict with one of my plugins. I've already looked through the Safari preference file (com.apple.Safari.plist) and found 'WebKit Web Inspector Setting - inspectorStartsAttached' set to true, but that doesn't seem to be working.

Safari-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Safari 5.1
