The current behavior of (avy-window-list) is return windows that the user cannot see. In my normal usage I have lots of hidden frames, and this caused avy tree using multiple windows to require many more characters than necessary, as candidates from hidden windows were being used.
Maybe this is how the function should work, but I found this inconvenient.
I fixed this by changing the source of avy-window-list too
(defun avy-window-list ()
"Return a list of windows depending on `avy-all-windows'."
(cond ((eq avy-all-windows 'all-frames)
(cl-mapcan #'window-list (visible-frame-list)))
((eq avy-all-windows t)
(window-list))
((null avy-all-windows)
(list (selected-window)))
(t
(error "Unrecognized option: %S" avy-all-windows))))
This simply replaces (frame-list) with (visible-frame-list)
