Problem conclusion

• When you ran a functional test by using the Web UI engine that
  had a test step with startApp(executable, url) and a regular
  expression to find an object, then the test failed with an
  exception because the required object was not found. This
  problem is fixed.
  
  Also, troubleshooting topic added with details on usage.
