Tests randomly fails on timeout to find an element by attribute on v4.5.0

See original GitHub issue

Current behavior:

On running our test suite in Cypress v4.5.0, we get random fails whenever the test suite runs in our CI environment (Drone - custom Node v12 docker image - running electron headless).

Examples of two independent runs failing in different tests:

All tests pass when running locally either on chrome and in headless electron. Downgrading to v4.4.1 fixes the issue in our CI.

Desired behavior:

All tests pass independent of version and environment.

Versions

Cypress: v4.5.0
OS: Linux Docker - Node 12 custom image
Browser - Headless Electron

it’s reproducible in a way, that the tests relying on cy.route() and cy.wait() fails randomly in CI (for me the tests are running successfully locally)
