Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.

I have the following org markup:

- morphisms: =f :: a -> b maps to F f :: F a -> F b=

"morphisms" is being emphasized the double colons in the verbatim block
are being matched as description lists. This breaks the verbatim block
on export. I am able to reproduce this with code blocks as well.

Fairly new to org. But I couldn't find any sources stating that this is
the intended behavior. I think a user should be able to use a double
colon in a verbatim block (in a list item).

Thanks!

You are hitting an edge case in Org mode markup.
:: sequence in list items is unconditionally marking description lists.

Normally, we suggest to use zero-width space to resolve such edge
cases. However, you are using =verbatim= markup and zero-width space may
not be suitable.

What you can do instead is move the list item to the next line:

-
  morphisms: =f :: a -> maps to F f :: F a -> F b=
