Subject: [PATCH] fix(e2e): skip desktop multiselect-dropdown tests on mobile
 viewport
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The mobile-chrome nightly was still failing 3 "Topic/Category Filtering"
tests with "Element is outside of the viewport". bootstrap-multiselect
renders its dropdown options off the small Pixel 5 viewport, so the option
clicks can't be reached — even click({ force: true }) fails, because force
skips actionability checks but still won't dispatch at an out-of-viewport
point.

Skip that desktop-dropdown interaction on mobile via test.skip(({ isMobile })
=> ...); mobile filtering is already covered by the My Conferences "should
work on mobile viewport" test (checkbox filters, not the multiselect widget).
Also revert the ineffective force:true on the option clicks — desktop
chromium drives them fine without it.
