@graouts: Antoine, can you have a look at the test and check that original assumptions since you added the test still hold true? After playing for a while with the test I feel like with the current set of events in LayerTree domain it may be hard to reliably detect when the layers get to the expected state but I don't have enough knowledge in this domain to tell for sure.

The test is still flaky failing to this day.  Modify test expectation so that they work again.
