Increase / decrease of brightness is a standard Fx key which can be read / used by any applciation.

As such, if an application claims that it consumed the key event, it will not be given back to the system and it will be handled there.

=> So this is WAI and up to the whim of the application which is receiving it. To fix this, you would need to patch the terminal app to reject the use of the key (and not accept it).
