Capybara first() only works when I add :minimum=>1

first() was working in version 2.15.0 as expected, but after updating cucumber 2.4.0 to 3.1.2 it doesn't work this way anymore.

first works if we add the param :minimum=>1 to it. If i leave it out, it will return nil even though the element is there.

first("div", :minimum=>1)

This is our Capybara dependencies in the gemfile.lock
