Steps to reproduce the issue
I noticed when running headlesschrome I get a failure versus using chrome which passes. I think the Javascript changes before the self.driver.title does on headlesschrome
I have the following code
Wait For Condition return document.title === 'Title of Website'
Title Should Be Title of Website
I have this code running in three back to back tests, the first one is the one that fails the most; but it isn't guaranteed. This concerns me that it might not be easily reproducible.
For a solution; I think implementing a Wait Unit Title Is keyword would be best to implement so it is using the self.driver.title property to match Title Should Be.
Error messages and additional information
Title should have been 'Title of Website' but was 'Sign In Page'.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the three back-to-back tests with Headless Chrome and compare the condition wait with the title assertion. Trace how the existing title assertion reads the browser title and how waits are implemented. Done means title checks use consistent browser state and the intermittent failure is covered by a regression test.
