I'm trying to update Javadoc and I'm noticing an extra InsertEdit with one space before the InsertEdit that was actually made.

Here's a method in the compilation unit:

    /**
     * Creates a {@link Integer}
     */
     public Integer create(){}

What I'm trying to do is add a period at the end of the summary (after the Integer link tag).

Simplified code example:

    ListRewrite listRewrite = astRewrite.getListRewrite(tagElement, TagElement.FRAGMENTS_PROPERTY);
    ASTNode astNode = astRewrite.createStringPlaceholder(".", ASTNode.TEXT_ELEMENT);
    listRewrite.insertLast(astNode, (TextEditGroup) null);
    return astRewrite.rewriteAST(...);

The TextEdit that's returned from ASTRewrite#rewriteAST(...) is:

    {MultiTextEdit} [949,0] [undefined]
      {InsertEdit} [949,0] << 
      {InsertEdit} [949,0] <<.

The first InsertEdit has a space. Applying it to the compilation unit results in:

    /**
     * Creates a {@link Integer} .
     */
     public Integer create(){}

That's not what I was expecting at all. Can someone verify if this isn't working as intended? If anyone needs more information, let me know. Thanks.
