We do not do anything special in the list of filters for one specific filter (Brightness). You must double-click a filter name in the filter list to toggle it. You only need to single-click to select a filter or single-click the checkbox to toggle it. Now, I just found the bug you were having: any time after you have double-clicked a filter in the list to toggle it, single-clicking the checkbox does toggle the filter but not the checkbox itself!
