Different behaviour of C-w (helm-swoop-yank-word) depending on how fast it is pressed

[sewkokot]

I have bound 'helm-swoop to C-s and set pre-input as nil so when I do C-s C-w (yank symbol at point) very quickly and not that quickly the result is different. For example I have a line: (defun avy-|goto-conditional () the cursor is at | point. If I hit C-s C-w very quickly, the symbol "defun" is yanked in the minibuffer, while in the slow case the correct "avy-goto-conditional" is submitted for searching. I suspect that in the first case in the meantime the cursor goes to the begining of line and at that time it grabs the symbol-at-point. Is the moving to the beg of line necessary in the code?

Could anyone check assuming no pre-input: (setq helm-swoop-pre-input-function #'ignore) and a huge buffer (mine init.el is more 21 000 lines) if fast pressing (key-sequence bound to helm-swoop) followed by C-w (helm-swoop-yank-thing-at-point) gives wrong thing at point? To be more precise this different behaviour happen when no helm-swoop buffer appears. If this helm-swoop buffer has enough time to appear then C-w yanks the correct symbol-at-point. Operating on small buffers/files the time to find the results is short enought to work correctly.

A interesting feature request but maybe not useful.

@conao3 your opinion?

Close because it confusing users if behaviour depends on the how they hit the key.
