Description
https://github.com/jugglinmike/chrome-screenshot-race/issues/1 details an issue where using ChromeDriver to take screenshots on page load produces unreliable behaviour because it isn't waiting for the content to paint before taking the screenshot. The specification should require webdriver implementations to wait for a paint before taking the screenshot, otherwise the implementation isn't reliable.
