Widgets which are in background aren't found by SWTBot.
This might be wanted for a particular test. But it could also be wanted (for
test stability reasons) that all widgets are found, no matter if they are in
background or if the application is minimized.
It also would make debugging easier if the widgets are found when the
application is in background or minimized. Stepping through would work without
"WidgetNotFoundException" and you could use the Display view to quickly test
some statements like bot.button("foo").click();
I admit that it would be nice to have and that this may not be your priority as
a one man SWT Bot army which you currently are.
What do you think about this idea? I think it can work. I know it from QF Test
that this kind of automation worked for Swing applications. The widgets didn't
need to be in the foreground in order to be controllable.
