Enable "Show View State" option missing on User Details page

According to the documentation, to be able to browser the Viewstate of a VF page, I should be able to check a box for "Show View State in Development Mode" on the User details page for my User. Unfortunately, I do not see this option at all. 

Documentation: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/pages_tools_edit_toolbar.htm 
To enable the View State tab:
1. From your personal settings, enter Advanced User Details in the Quick Find box, then select Advanced User Details. No results? Enter Personal Information in the Quick Find box, then select Personal Information.
2. Click Edit.
3. Select the Development Mode checkbox if it isn't selected.
4. Select the Show View State in Development Mode checkbox.
5. Click Save.

Below is what I see when I check the "Developmetn Mode" checkbox on my User record. Note that the "Show View State in Development Mode" box is not there.

I'm a full system admin and have author apex permissions. I've tried logging in as some other admins as well. No luck. Has anyone seen this issue before?

Mike

This is Enterprise in a Full Sandbox. I should add that I've used this feature before, just not for this client's org. Still, their org shouldn't be any different from my other clients Enterprise Orgs - at least regarding this feature. Best Regards, Mike
