Not quite. As the screenshot shows:
In the details of the Request URI the 'host part' is presented. According to
the BNF the hostpart with an IPv6 address contains the square brackets and the
IPv6 address.
In the details of the Via header the 'Address' is presented. According to the
BNF the address in case of IPv6 is the plain IPv6 address. No square brackets,
these are part of the IPv6reference, as described in the BNF.

I would consider the best option to be:
1.) The header lines shown in full, including all grouping and separation
characters, as present in the message captured.
2.) The details as user friendly as possible, stripping all non-relevant
grouping and separation characters.
Indeed this patch would contribute to that, but I would like to see a more
overall approach in which proper names are used in the header fields.
