helm-M-x => ffap => open-network-stream

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.
