VisualEditor: ContentEditable div often takes more than 5 seconds to appear in Beta Labs
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

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.

Well, the *tests* are fixed, but it is a bit sketchy that the editable div is taking so long to manifest.

Beta Labs being slow isn't really a bug so much as a statement of fact…
