Summary0013344: Advanced button used as toggle in Properties panel
DescriptionIn the new properties panel, there is a toggle to show advanced options. This toggle is implemented with a button widget. These button widgets are conventionally used to invoke actions, and it's toggle behavior is confusing (see GUI Blooper "Using command buttons as toggles," http://books.google.com/books?id=cIY0JOAkLoYC&pg=PA66&lpg=PA66&dq=gui+blooper+toggle&source=bl&ots=uWwpXi3PqM&sig=pq3jazWL-yimwkcfV5UOrsSKVwk&hl=en&sa=X&ei=UXwiUJXVDsT5ygG4n4HQAQ&ved=0CFUQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=gui%20blooper%20toggle&f=false [^])

Use a different widget that better represents the notion of a toggle like a checkbox or perhaps a squared toolbutton like those toggles used in the toolbar.
