Steps to reproduce

just use page with same element multiple times,
for example multiple continue buttons with 'Continue' span inside.

elm = page.wait_for_selector(CONTINUE_BUTTON_SELECTOR)

Traceback (most recent call last):

Call log:

• waiting for locator("span:has-text('Continue')") to be visible
  64 ×ばつ locator resolved to 8 elements. Proceeding with the first one: Continue

Expected behavior

set the first matching element to the elm variable

Actual behavior

as said in logs, should proceed with first match, but instead it throws exception. even if you want to catch the exception and choose element manually, it does not set any value to the elm variable.
