cursor on an url (say:example.com), hitting helm-M-x triggers this
sequence (check *Messages*, also prints "Pinging ...").
is this something expected? or maybe the reason is my package
configuration, but i couldn't find anything on the backtrace output.

if this is expected, how in the world is this a good idea? :)

This has been fixed, please update Helm. And it is not the Helm fault
but ffap. see https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/issues/2574.

i was trying to isolate the issue. if i thought helm was the issue, i
would have opened a ticket. helm is great, thanks a lot for all the
work :)


i updated earlier today (version 20221204.658), the issue popped up
after that (maybe it was there before as well, i am not sure).


workaround: (setq ffap-machine-p-known 'reject)

I can't reproduce here, don't hesitate to open a new bug report if
that persist.

Thanks.
