I think it is valuable feature in SQLTools++ to highlight brackets near cursor. But sometimes it misleads when some part of text (without neighbor ")") is selected. In that case bracket highlighting visually extends this selection to the next ")". It seems that I selected ")" either, but I didn't. I would recommend to implement option to use "temporary bold" style for the bracket reached, instead of "background color change" as it is now. That way (as I'm suggesting) is implemented in Notepad++ editor.
Just to clarify this: You want to say that the bracket highlighting is working correctly, but you find it sometimes confusing/misleading when selecting a text range and the brackets are highlighted so that you're unsure if you have selected the bracket or not? In order to have this the cursor needs to be next to/on a bracket, so that both opening and closing brackets are highlighted.
The reason why I'm asking is that I'm not sure how to interpret your comment "(without neighbor")")". It could mean that sometimes brackets get highlighted although the cursor is not next to/on a bracket. Could you please confirm whether it's simply a highlighting issue (e.g. use bold instead background color change) or is there a general bug in the functionality when to highlight a bracket?
Note that you can change the background color used to highlight the brackets: It is linked to the "Random Bookmark" background color and can be changed, just go to: Tools->Settings->Editor->Fonts and Colors->PL/SQL->Random Bookmark and change the "Background" color accordingly.
