When you open Camera Raw and cancel, the Camera Raw Filter settings previously saved are cleared. Result, when you reapply Camera Raw Filter, nothing happens. Why anyone would want to apply no settings makes no sense, but there may be deep Adobe logic behind it (happy to be enlightened). I would, therefore, class the behaiour as a bug as it's an unexpected behaviour. Example:
Open image in Camera Raw Filter.
Apply a preset, or settings.
Open another image.
Select Filter > Camera Raw Filter.
Repeat as many times on as many images you like (works great).
Now, say you want to experiment with Camera Raw settings, or you want to apply different settings or preset to an image so you:
Open image in Camera Raw Filter.
Apply settings, or a preset.
Don't like it.
Cancel.
Keep working on same image, or open another and choose Filter > Camera Raw Filter.
Result: Camera Raw Filter settings not applied (expected).
In fact, you don't even have to do anything in Camera Raw, just open an image, Cancel to have your previously applied settings cleared.
