When you say latest version do you mean the latest stable release
(version 3.12) or the latest from git-maser (SHA: 438f63bf8)?

There was a bug with list views not showing check-boxes correctly by
default that I resolved last week. See:

If possible could you try your filter with the latest ParaView release
in git? If not, the next ParaView release will have the fix in it.

Thanks,
