I'm using M8.  I have seen this once before with M8, but never with any 
previous version (I used M7, M6, and M5 quite a bit).  One other developer I 
know has seen the same problem.

The problem is that somehow eclipse gets into a mode where it doesn't 
correctly position the cursor after I select a completion proposal.  The 
cursor is placed too many characters beyond where it's supposed to be (as it 
happens, the extra distance is the same number of characters that were added 
by the completion operation).  Although you will probably not be able to 
reproduce this, I am submitting it in the hope that you can look at the code 
and see what could possibly be causing it.

So, if I have the following snippet:

get().getDocument(getEditorInput()).getLineOfOffset(100);

I put the cursor after "get" and hit ctrl+space.  I scroll down to 
the "getDocumentProvider" item and hit return.  The string is completed 
correctly, but the cursor ends up after the "g" in "getEditorInput".

If I type in "getDocumentProvide" and hit ctrl+space after the "e", then the 
last character is added, but the cursor is placed after the "(".

Once the problem manifests, it is consistent.

Workaround: closing and reopening the affected source editor seems to fix the 
problem.
