ubuntu_sanity_tests.tests.test_with_webbrowser.WebbrowserSanityTest.test_014_webbrowser fails to clear address bar sometimes

[Brendan Donegan]

Occasionally the webbrowser test is failing because it fails to clear the address bar for some reason, giving the following traceback:

Some initial suspicions are that the button is not enabled at the point when it's being clicked, or some other UI component (such as copy/paste pop-up) is in the way.

This is probably a generic bug in the UITK helpers so will eventually need a task there once we confirm what's wrong
