Perhaps you have set 'matchpairs' so that it does not include
"[:]"?
matchpairs does include "[:]" - as by default. And brackets are
highlighted when cursor is near one of them.
Since you snipped the three sample lines, here is another
example:
long line
()
another
After going to "long line" and doing $i<Down> do you have the cursor
after the parentheses, with the parentheses highlighted?
Yes, I do. And after doing <Down> I have cursor after 'r' in 'another'.
