Fix flaky feature tests

[sandbergja]

What maintenance needs to be done?

Make the following tests more reliable and consistent:

rspec ./spec/features/report_spec.rb:17 # My Requests I can filter reports
rspec ./spec/features/my_requests_spec.rb:12 # My Requests I can filter my requests
rspec ./spec/features/my_requests_spec.rb:54 # My Requests I can sort my requests

Level of urgency

• High
• Moderate
• Low

Why is this maintenance needed?

This test sometimes passes and sometimes fails in CI, so it's hard to tell whether or not this feature is working.

Acceptance criteria

• This test passes reliably, without having to rerun it

Notes

This might be related to the select_drop_down custom test method.

This custom test method may not wait for the javascript to render, or might not see hidden elements on the page. It would be nice if we could use the capybara #select matcher for these tests.
