title: Watir can't find element in IE and PhantomJS
body: <p>I've got a problem with running scripts in different browsers: My scripts work ok in Chrome, Firefox but there is a problem with IE and PhantomJS. Most curious thing is that a few days ago I successfully completed the same scripts in PhantomJS and I'm sure that no one changes gems/browsers.
  Here is the script that I want to perform:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class HomePage
     ....
     link(:signInLink, :text=&gt;"Sign In")
     ....
  def log_in(username="admin", password="admin123")
     self.signInLink_element.when_present(60).click//hangs here
     self.login_element.when_present(60)
     self.username = username
     self.password = password
     self.signIn_element.click
  end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The HTML code for the page:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="user-display"&gt;
  &lt;span class="user-actions"&gt;
      &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="/RedisCache/Users/Account/LogOn?ReturnUrl=%2FRedisCache%2F"&gt;
          Sign In
      &lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Running my scripts through cucumber I've gor the next exception(PhantomJS):</p>
  
  <pre><code>timed out after 60 seconds, waiting for {:text=&gt;"Sign In", :tag_name=&gt;"a"} to become present(Watir::Wait::TimeoutError)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I'm trying to reproduce such scenario "by hand" using irb I've got the next exception on attempt to click on Sign In link(PhantomJS):</p>

  <p>When I'm running scripts in IE browser it is just hangs whether I'm running cucumber or trying to click this link "by hand". As I can see link just blinking like it lost/receive focus and that's all.
  I've tried to downgrade PhantomJS version and re-install it, but nothing helps.
  Any suggestions?
  IE version is 9.0.8112
  PhantomJS version is 1.9.7.0
  All gems have the latest versions.</p>
