>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5317
>             Project: NetBeans
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: editor - Completion & Templates, editor - Painting & Printing
>    Affects Versions: 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, 12.5
>            Reporter: Czukowski
>            Priority: Minor

> Suppose you want to introduce some constants into a class and you can copy that list somewhere and paste it into the class to work on:
> {code:java}
> <?php
> class Test
> {
> 	FOO = 1
> 	BAR = 2
> 	BAZ = 3
> //	🡤 place caret to each of the 3 lines directly above here
> }
> {code}
> This is invalid code, but it should be very easy to place a caret in front of each line, type {{const}}, jump to the end of the lines and finish it off with a semicolon.
> However if you don't type fast enough and autocomplete suggestions appear, then whether you accept a suggestion or continue typing, the code gets broken.
> Here's what happens if I type 'c', wait for the suggestions and continue with typing 'o':
> {code:java}
> 	cBAZo = 1
> 	coBAZ = 2
> 	coBAZ = 3
> {code}
> Here's what happens if I type 'c', and then accept the 'const' suggestion:
> {code:java}
> 	const BAZ = 1
> 	const BAZ = 2
> 	const BAZ = 3
> {code}
> A possible workaround is to type space, then move cursor one character to the left and then type 'const'. If instead of typing a whole 'const', a suggestion is accepted, the code gets some extra spaces, although the names remain intact:
> {code:java}
> 	const  FOO = 1
> 	const  BAR = 2
> 	const BAZ = 3
> {code}
