I am experiencing up to 4 failures with the behat tests for the atto superscript and subscript behat tests. The failures are:

While the failures were not happening every time, the were failing enough for me to track down the cause - the atto editor not updating the master text area all of the time (although I wasn't able to replicate this outside of behat tests) when running in firefox.

I've replicated it on 2.9, but haven't tried in other versions.
