## Observation
assert_and_click is a single function but implemented as multiple calls to the backend. So for example in
[apache2_changehat](https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/3964918/modules/apache2_changehat/steps/108) you can observe how a popup bar comes up between the mouse moving to the needle and the click of the button, which is no longer in the same place. There is no trivial way to avoid this on the test side because movements in the UI can not be anticipated or avoided, and the test can't avoid the internal delay.
Context: This came up in the open conversation in the QE Tools workshop, discussing recurring test issues that come up as flaky.
## Suggestions
* Find a way to reduce or eliminate timeouts between backend calls
* Consolidate individual check_screen and backend_mouse_button into a single backend function in isotovideo
*
## Reproducible
Fails since (at least) Build [20240226](https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/3964918) (current job)
## Expected result
Last good: [20240225](https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/3963542) (or more recent)
## Further details
Always latest result in this scenario: [latest](https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/latest?arch=x86_64&distri=opensuse&flavor=DVD&machine=64bit&test=apparmor_profile&version=Tumbleweed)
