Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by reproducing the failing AssertJ Swing tests on Linux under Wayland and inspect how AWT Robot is used; done means the affected tests work reliably despite Wayland's restrictions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It's strange the issue hasn't already been reported, but on Linux Wayland, most AssertJ Swing tests fail due to the way AssertJ Swing relies on the AWT robot, which requires permissions and accesses that Wayland disables.
