I've written up [a GUI test][1] using [SWTBot][2] to test the Extract Method refactoring. I use `editor.selectRange()` to select a statement to extract into a method. But, when I run the unit test, the Extract Method refactoring menu item is disabled. Thus, SWTBot fails to invoke the refactoring.

When we change `org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.ExtractMethodAction` so that the "Extract Method..." menu item is always enabled, our SWTBot passes. But, SWTBot should let us select the menu item without hacking the `org.eclipse.jdt.ui` plugin.

The whole project containing the above unit test is [available at github][3]. I've also reported the problem on [the Eclipse forum for SWTBot][4]. But, we haven't received a solution from the forum.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
SWTBotEclipseEditor editor= bot.editorByTitle(TEST_FILE_NAME + ".java").toTextEditor();

editor.setFocus();

//Select a statement to extract into a method.
editor.selectRange(7, 8, 38 - 8);

SWTBotMenu refactorMenu= bot.menu("Refactor");
assertTrue(refactorMenu.isEnabled());

SWTBotMenu extractConstantMenuItem= refactorMenu.menu("Extract Method...");
assertTrue(extractConstantMenuItem.isEnabled()); //This assertion fails.
