Why do hidden Cocoa applications with windows return an empty array

as expected.
Which of these is considered the 'correct' behaviour?
Actually, it turns out that kAXWindowsAttribute still returns any
minimized
windows in the hidden Cocoa app, just not the unminimized ones !
I've filed a bug against that about two months ago (ID 3140563). (I
would be more than happy if you sent your needs to. The more we are to
report this problem, the more likely it will be fixed).
I believe all windows should be returned, no matter if the application
is visible or not. It's not because something is not visible onscreen
that it's not a relevant information. Especially for blind people....
