    Setting a timeout does not, in general, increase the execution time of an action beyond the time it takes for the item we are using in the action to become visible and accessible. During the set timeout, the action tries to access the element it is working with. As soon as the item is available, the waiting timeout expires.

  2. Click "Start" in the top panel.

Result

The program robot completed successfully.

The "Reverse search direction" checkbox value is changed to True.
