Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 23
### What happened
Whenever code complete suggestions show up while multicaret is used, the edited code is broken, see examples below.
This issue was originally reported in Jira and, I guess, overlooked during the migration to Github Issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5317

Research direction
Start in the NetBeans Editor component by reproducing the multicaret examples in both PHP and Java, including typing during and accepting code completion. Trace the code-completion interaction with multiple carets; done means completion and normal typing preserve each caret's intended text without duplicated or misplaced content.
