This hardcoded pause needs to stay in the selenium test code for now. I created T414022 to address what is causing the hardcoded pause to be needed and all I am doing in this ticket for now is adding a comment in the selenium code to reflect T414022. Once that ticket is resolved, we will be able to remove the hardcoded pause.
