Description
Originally posted as https://github.com/w3c/testharness.js/issues/204 by @halindrome on 17 Jul 2016, 15:07 UTC:
The timeout_multiplier property is applied to each test step and each Test, but not to the timeout of the overall Tests object.
See Tests.prototype.set_timeout()

Research direction
Locate Tests.prototype.set_timeout() in the testharness.js implementation and trace how timeout_multiplier is applied to individual tests and steps. Update the overall Tests timeout behavior so the multiplier applies there too, then run the relevant testharness tests to confirm all timeout levels are handled.
