I'd respond that they did, but that the action they took has uncertainty about it, and therefore requires a roll (back to the general order of play).  If you are behind a table, Hide and gain the Invisible condition, and then a monster walks behind the table, it doesn't have disadvantage on it's attack against you because it can see you.  If you walk out of cover up to a guard looking at you, you don't get advantage on the attack because it can see you.</blockquote>
