Shows the issue

Reproduction:
* Place several carets 
* Press shortcut for 'codecompletion' (CTRL-SPACE/CTRL-SHIFT-SPACE/... in Eclipse layout)

ACTUAL: the completion is only done for the last caret - see attached screencast

EXPECTED: 
a) the completion is done for all carets (which can be tricky, because often you need a context for CC; a simple case is supported by IDEA http://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/files/2014/03/multiple_selections.gif) OR

b) the completion is done for none of the carets (the action is disabled for multiple carets)
