I think this one is pointing to some span which is hidden because this
error was thrown
Uncaught exception: element located, but timed out after 30 seconds,
waiting for #<Watir::Span: located: true; {:title=>"Subject",
:tag_name=>"label"} --> {:tag_name=>"div", :adjacent=>:following} -->
{:tag_name=>"lf-select"} --> {:tag_name=>"div"} --> {:tag_name=>"span"}> to
be present
