I've found a way of making the applet scroll bar respond to left mouse clicks
1 - Left click on the icon (scroll bar appears)
2 - Right Click on the icon (menu appears)

4 - Left click to place the icon

It will look
Workaround:
Click on the icon.
Use the up and down KEYBOARD arrows to adjust brightness (slider moves
appropriately).
Click anywhere to close the slider.
There's nothing wrong with the applets ability to handle brightness.
