It's not weird; std: could be a label and until you type the second : it doesn't know otherwise.

Edit: I forgot to mention, but you can customize c-default-style to choose a different indentation style, and you can add your own entries to c-style-alist to make one that's exactly to your liking.

    Labels aren't indented in any of the default indentation styles (see the c-style-alist variable) except the "java" style.
