Fixes #3450

Changes proposed in this PR:

  • Fixes the flaky tests within spec/features/plans/exports_spec.rb (see Some Selenium/Features Tests Breaking (Independent of Code Changes) #3450)
    • While inspecting these sometimes failing tests, it was found that expect(page.source).to have_text(plan.title) sometimes failed because sometimes page.source == "".
    • Rather than page.source, which returns the entire HTML content of the page, this PR uses page.title, which only returns the contents inside of the <title> tags.
      • page.title does not seem to encounter the unwanted behaviour of returning a blank string. Maybe because it is faster (only returning the title should be faster than returning the entire HTML content via page.source)?
      • Also, the <title> title tags and their contents are part of the entire HTML content. So despite page.source returning a blank string, because page.title is not blank, it follows that the DOM is not blank.

This commit replaces `page.source` with (the hopefully more efficient) `page.title` for verifying the page title. Checking the entire page source was potentially causing slowdowns and leading to the intermittent failing of tests within this file.
