NoSuchElementException is not catched when isPresent() is called

[vzakharchuk]

Hey there,

The code below works fine, it catches the exception and returns boolean.
element(LOCATOR).isPresent().

Next example will fail with NoSuchElementException in case child element is absent in DOM.
element(PARENT_ELEMENT_LOCATOR).then(CHILD_ELEMENT_LOCATOR).isPresent().

Despite the fact that NotFoundException is catched in isPresent().
Could you please throw some light on it?

If element(PARENT_ELEMENT_LOCATOR) is not present than this will throw an exception.
