Current behavior

Cypress fails E2E scaffolding test against WebKit

cd cypress-test-tiny
npm ci
npx playwright install-deps webkit

Debug Logs

1) Actions
       .click() - click on a DOM element:
     CypressError: Timed out retrying after 4250ms: `cy.click()` failed because this element:

`<span class="label label-primary" data-toggle="popover" data-placement="bottom" data-content="clicked" data-original-title="" title="">and me</span>`

is being covered by another element:

`<div class="arrow" style="left: 50%;"></div>`

Fix this problem, or use {force: true} to disable error checking.
