Autosave.feature:29 ("Content item is not autosaved and draft is not visible in dashboard when autosave is disabled") fails intermittently on the step I disable autosave:

Ibexa\Behat\Browser\Exception\ElementNotFoundException: Could not find element named: 'Disabled'.
Collection is empty. CSS locator 'ibexaDropdownExtended'
  #0 src/lib/Behat/Component/IbexaDropdown.php(41): ElementCollection->getByCriterion()
  #1 src/lib/Behat/Page/UserSettingsPage.php(83): IbexaDropdown->selectOption()
  #2 src/lib/Behat/BrowserContext/UserPreferencesContext.php(57): UserSettingsPage->disableAutosave()

Seen in ibexa/headless run 34428511763 (branch 5.0, 2026-09-10), where Autosave.feature passed on 2 of the 3 matrix legs in the same run and failed only on MySQL 8.4 / Solr 8 / Redis.

Cause

disableAutosave() clicks the dropdown and calls selectOption() right away, and selectOption() had no wait at all — it went straight to findAll()->getByCriterion().

That is not enough, because BaseElement::internalFindAll() waits only for raw CSS matches and applies the locator criteria — including the VisibleCSSLocator visibility check — after the wait loop has ended. While the popover is already in the DOM but not yet visible, the filtered collection comes back empty and getByCriterion() throws Collection is empty immediately, without any TimeoutException.

ElementExistsCondition is the right tool here: its isMet() calls findAll(...)->any(), i.e. it checks the filtered collection, and waitUntilCondition() polls it for the full timeout.

Fix

Wait with ElementExistsCondition before findAll(), exactly the way the sibling selectOptionByValueFragment() in the same class already does. The asymmetry between those two methods looks accidental.

selectOption() is used throughout the suite for every dropdown interaction, so the fix is not limited to the autosave scenario.

For QA:

Behat only, no product code touched.
