cy.contains fails to find an element

[jasonLaster]

test case: list of items and the first one is inside an element with visible: false even though the rest are visible.

We ran into this with Codemirror, when it was instantiated without a default value. In this case, the first element was hidden, but the rest were visible, and cypress could not find a child element down the list.

Can you create a small reproducible repo showcasing this problem? I cannot reproduce locally.

A simple way to reproduce what we saw would be to create a codemirror instance without default text, then add text and try to select the second line number.
