WaitForURL fails with a timeout

Hi,

On one of my tests the steps include clicking on various links and waiting to see that the correct URL is loaded. These seem to fail (seemingly randomly, or at least according to a pattern that I can't figure out).


The scenario is as follows:

1. load index
2. wait for menu to exist
3. click on link in menu
4. confirm that browser navigates to topic page (waitforurl)
5. wait for a link to exist and then click on it
6. repeat 4 and 5 for a sub-topic page.
7. confirm that browser nagivates to article page (wait forurl)

The tests fail at 4 and 7. I can see in the browserUI that the page has correctly loaded, and finished loading within the wait period.

All I can guess is that perhaps some element on our page is confusing the picture somehow (either an iframe element or a modal window).

The exception is reproduced below:

Thanks,
Ed
