A MissingWayOfFindingObjectException occurs when trying to locate an element
using the :css and :index locator.
For example, say you have the following html:
```html
<div class="test">text</div>
<div class="test">text2</div>
```
You can get a collection of elements using the :css locator and then get the
second element:
```ruby
p browser.elements(:css => '.test')[1].text
#=> 'text2'
```
However, you cannot directly get the second element:
```ruby
p browser.element(:css => '.test', :index => 1).text

```
I would have expected the second approach to work since it is equivalent to the
first.
