Workaround for intermittent/inconsistent situation where

newly created task is not visible.
Seems to be a timing issue in the UI - dependent on
CPU speed? Only seeing this sometimes on Jenkins - never locally.

Wait statements were not successful in resolving this issue. Trapping an exception, then closing and opening the view seems to always work. Very odd bug - never see it locally - only on machydra and only part of the time.
