Description of the bug
In the fill-form evals, the agent repeatedly failed to click on options within a or combobox. The result was "Failed to interact... The element did not become interactive within the configured timeout (5000ms)"
It seems to happen when the select is not currently expanded or if the UI is a custom combobox that hides the actual list.
Reproduction
Use tool 'click' on option that is hidden (either select is not expanded or options list is hidden by custom select)
Expectation
a) Modify tool description(s) to steer models to prefer fill tool for selects instead, it seem to be able to select options correctly.
b) Improve implementation of click tool to handle options of a select even when the select is collapsed dropdown.
