bug#64903: 28.2; completion-at-point deletes next line(s) when completing a single character in elisp

[Thalis Charakas]

This bug happens with "emacs -q -Q"

When completing a single character with completion-at-point (M-C-i) in elsip,

after you select the desiered completion, it is inserted in the buffer

but some of the following lines are deleted. This does not happen when

the line has two characters.

Examples are with "emacs -q -Q"

Example 1:

- Write "(setq foo nil)" in scratch.

- Go to the line before that and type "(".

- Press M-C-i.

- Select any outecome.

The (setq foo nil) is no longer there.

Example 2:

- Open a .el file where the following code exists:

```

(use-package modus-themes

    :config

    ;; Add all your customizations prior to loading the themes

    (setq modus-themes-italic-constructs t

          modus-themes-bold-constructs t

          modus-themes-mixed-fonts t)

    ;; Maybe define some palette overrides, such as by using our presets

    (setq modus-themes-common-palette-overrides

        nil)

[...]

```

- Add a line after ":config" by navigating to the end of that line and

    pressing RET.

- Type "(" in that new line and press M-C-i

- Select any outcome.

Everything up to the line before ";;Maybe define [...]" is deleted.

Example 3:

Doing the same as above but typing "(s" before pressing M-C-i.

After selecting an outcome, nothing is deleted.

Example 4:

- Open a .el file where the following code exists:

```

(use-package which-key

    :init (setq which-key-idle-delay 0

                which-key-idle-secondary-delay nil)

    :config (which-key-mode 1))

```

- Add a line after the first (by pressing RET after "which-key"), and

type "(". Now the buffer is like this:

```

(use-package which-key

             (

    :init (setq which-key-idle-delay 0

                which-key-idle-secondary-delay nil)

    :config (which-key-mode 1))

```

- Press M-C-i and select anything, for example "abs".

- The file in now like this (":init" and a new-line are missing):

```

(use-package which-key

             (abs (setq which-key-idle-delay 0

                which-key-idle-secondary-delay nil)

    :config (which-key-mode 1))

```
