See the difference in line 273 and 274. In the failed log we don't see Finding widget by url: http://localhost:39124/v1/widgets?id=%22Bootloader%3A%3ALoaderTypeWidget%22.
This log entry should be created when the YaST::Bootloader::BootCodeOptionsPage::is_shown() method is executed, so if we don't see this messages something is definitely off track.

There is a rate of ~ 8% of failures.
By increase RAM to 4 / 6 GB the rate go down to 1-2%

the failure also appears here:
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/15928209#step/disable_boot_menu_timeout/1
As mentioned in the daily, let's try to narrow the scope of the fix in the automation instead of trying to boost resources as good practice.
The rate of failure should 0 in verification runs but when fixed properly you don't even need to calculate any rate of course.

Created WIP PR#20626
For some tests, even after 30 minutes the Tab " Bootloader Options " is not displayed:
The strange is that during this time, the openQA "Live View" doesn't show anything, no image from SUT

It seems there are still several failures in the VRs of this PR. I think just wait may couldn't fix this issue. The Tab " Bootloader Options " is shown very slow of never shown even wait 1800s. I guess it maybe a refresh issue, so could we try the workaround to make it stable, ex: send alt-h key to show the help dialog and close it to force the refreshment.

The problem seems located in $testapi::distri->get_bootloader_settings()->disable_grub_timeout();.
Also by apply the workaround of alt-h/alt-c to refresh, the Tab "Bootloader Options" is not shown.
It seems that the link Booting is not triggered.
