That's not a check-box really, it's just someone using a tick-mark to show that there's a menu there (which I suspect is poor design as most humans expect check-boxes to indicate data rather than actions).
JIRA simply has different indicators for menus, and aligns them down the screen instead of across. The functions are all there, it's just a different UI.
