Chrome 53 Auto-reload generated CSS option not available (Windows 7)

How can I get chrome to auto-reload generated css?

I've seen lots of sites advising me to check the "Auto-reload generated CSS" checkbox in dev tools settings, eg Chrome's "Auto-Reload Generated CSS" not reloading page when SASS recompiles CSS.

But I do not see that option there, my options page has the option to enable CSS source maps, but there is no option for "Auto-reload generated CSS"

(Unfortunately, my work internet proxy prevents upload of images, so i can't upload an image)

Has this option been removed from chrome dev tools? Or is there some hidden config setting I need to change?

I'm using chrome version 53.0.2785.116 m (64-bit) on Windows 7 SP1.

Thanks in advance for any help.
