Webdriver atom isDisplayed returns true for element with opacity:0

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 8407

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use a simple div with opacity:0 (<div style="opacity:0;width:10px;height:10px"></div>).
2. Use the generated isDisplayed atom from the webdriver folder (https://code.google.com/p/selenium/source/browse/javascript/webdriver/atoms).
3. The atom result is true, meaning the div element should be visible.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The isDisplayed atom should answer false.
Chrome-driver / Firefox-driver or IE-driver are all answering false as expected.

Solution:
The code of the isDisplayed atom is calling isShown with parameter ignoreOpacity as
true (https://code.google.com/p/selenium/source/browse/javascript/webdriver/atoms/inject/dom.js#148).
It should be change to false.

If this is an acceptable solution, I can prepare a simple patch.

Thank you
