seen on beta labs http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/ After clicking Edit for VisualEditor, sometimes the user waits longer than expected for the editable div to appear. There is a default timeout of 5 seconds in the automated browser tests, and these tests are failing more and more often because the edit surface in VE takes longer than 5 seconds to appear, for a page of reasonable size.
Fixed in Gerrit change #123450.
Well, the *tests* are fixed, but it is a bit sketchy that the editable div is taking so long to manifest.
