Regression: "be.visible" is fragile when used with fixed position or disabled pointer-events

[mryellow]

Current behavior

I'm experiencing #6675 and #9227 in 13.1.0.

Have been forced to work around by settings pointer-events: initial on the element in question.

Desired behavior

be.visible should detect visible elements regardless of position or pointer-events.

Test code to reproduce

.loader-spinner {
    left: 0;
    pointer-events: none;
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    z-index: 9999;
}

cy.get('.loader-spinner').should('be.visible');

Overloading CSS with either pointer-events: initial !important; or position: initial !important; has be.visible function as intended. z-index does not seem to be involved.

What bot would know the difference between a valid and invalid issue?

Bump. Hate stalebots. So much. So very much.

Thankyou. Can you add that label automatically to all issues? ;-)
