I've managed to solve my problem by pathching Watir.
I've copied code of click method and commented WaitForIE line and my script
now works fine
Perhaps someone might think of adding this into official version
# This method clicks the active element.
# raises: UnknownObjectException if the object is not found
# ObjectDisabledException if the object is currently disabled
def click_nonblocking()
object_exist_check
object_disabled_check
highLight(:set)
@o.click()
[EMAIL PROTECTED]()
highLight(:clear)
end
