closedtest fails in change_desktop
Description
Observation¶
openQA test in scenario sle-15-SP5-Online-V-Staging-x86_64-cryptlvm_minimal_x@64bit fails in
change_desktop
Test suite description¶
Maintainer: slindomansilla
Combination of "cryptlvm" and "minimal_x".
(crypt-)LVM installations can take longer, especially on non-x86_64 architectures.
Reproducible¶
Fails since (at least) Build V.16.1
Expected result¶
Last good: V.14.1 (or more recent)
Further details¶
Always latest result in this scenario: latest
Seems a problem while scrolling down the patterns on latest good run it is possible to see the "GNOME Desktop Environment" fully visible:
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/9652837#step/change_desktop/27
While on the failing run it is just partial visible:

This is a known bug that only happens when certain number of patterns need to be scrolled: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1189550 as it is not fixed upstream so it an 'accepted' workaround which doesn't show like a workaround in openQA because it very difficult to determine when is going to happen.
The solution is to apply the same existing code than in select_patterns in particular this method move_down for each down key sent in change_desktop

It looks like the workaround no longer works. So I have proceeded to create a new needle which checks whether we have landed on the Gnome Desktop Environment pattern from the Description panel and not from the left side widget.
With this new needle, runs are now successful.
