Marking expectations as pass fail while this pends investigation.

This test currently has expectations marked as FAIL for both subtests, however, these tests flakily assert PASS. Adding a 250ms pause after pointer movements results in constant PASS. Putting this up as a PR.

Flaky PASS is a good problem to have 😃

I would prefer to not hardcode a 250ms delay.

It certainly is! I definitely think it’s possible to get this test to a point where it’s consistently passing with the right timing adjustments.
