Description
For some reason, when running multiple tests, Element Web's account storage does not seem to get cleared properly between test runs, so tests after the first one get confused and fail.
It's a bit odd, since manual runs where you click each test file one by one _do_ seem to work.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with multiple tests, comparing sequential runs with manually run individual test files. Trace the test setup and Element Web account-storage lifecycle to find why state persists between runs; done means the tests pass both individually and as a group.
