waitForElement() does not timeout/wait when being tests are run with phantomjs

[attrox]

I have debugged and time the code execution and there's no wait at all for the element.

$this->session->timeouts()->postImplicit_wait(['ms' => $timeout]);

The above code does not seem to work properly when the tests are being run using phantomjs.

Why not just having it as $this->wait($timeout); which works properly in Selenium or phantomjs testing.
