Open mate-terminal -> Edit -> Profile Preferences -> General, now look
at the "Select-by-word characters" setting, you'll most likely find
":" included there.

gnome-terminal had an option like that in F21 but it was removed in
recent releases of gnome-terminal i.e. the version in F22. You can
make the behaviour similar to mate-terminal by using this workaround:

(Have a look at  the whole bug report for more details/info).
