Click events on svg element generates: CypressError: Timed out retrying: Illegal invocation

See original GitHub issue

Current behavior:

We have a click assertion:

cy.get('[data-role="rater-button"]')
    .first()
    .click();

instead of it clicking and continuing, we get this error: CypressError: Timed out retrying: Illegal invocation

Desired behavior:

It should click and advance.

Steps to reproduce:

Create an svg object, select it and click it.
