Title:
  autopkgtest: jstest in sphinx-doc test times out

Status in sphinx package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The sphinx-doc autopkgtest is currently failing as the jstest
  component times out waiting for the search results to be evaluated.

  I added a bit of debug to the Browser class to see what was happening:

  gi.repository.GLib.Error: WebKitJavascriptError: file:///usr/share/doc
  /sphinx-doc/html/search.html?q=example:1:80: TypeError: null is not an
  object (evaluating '$('#search-results > p:first').text().match(/found
  (\d+) page/)[1]') (699)

  It would appear that the actual search is not being executed so the
  parsing of the results continues to fail until the 40 second timeout
  is hit.

  http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/s/sphinx

  The test has been failing since 30/03/2020 and is blocking a few other
  packages from migration to the proposed pocket:

  1.8.5-5 python-docutils/0.16+dfsg-2     2020-03-30 01:12:02 UTC 0h 11m
  11s

  Manually testing the search page - it appears to function correctly.
