System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.19045-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.6.0 NVIDIA 536.40

Blender Version
Broken: version: 4.0.0 Alpha, branch: main, commit date: 2023-08-30 22:16, hash: 7c57eb42d7a7
Worked:

Short description of error
The Vertex Paint/Weight Paint/Texture Paint/Sculpt/UV Sculpt/Curves Sculpt Tool menus for brushes display each item in the menu with a tickbox, which would usually indicate that the items are multiple choice, however, they are not, only one value from the menu can be selected.

I would have expected radio button icons, tool-specific icons (e.g. the Sculpt mode Draw tool uses the Draw tool's icon) or no icons at all.

The Enabled Modes menu directly above these ___ Tool menus is multiple choice and displays with checkboxes, which particularly makes this confusing.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open the brush context menu in any mode that uses brushes.
Selecting more than one tool is not possible, despite tickbox icons being used.

I am not quite sure, but alternative would be to display no icon which would be even more confusing. In any case I don't think this meets threshold of issue I can confirm as a bug. There are nearly 6K open reports and the number is growing, I don't see this being addressed anytime soon.
