That is inherent in the nature of the problem it is trying to solve:
automate an interface--the GUI--which was never designed for automatic
operation. No matter how you slice and dice it, that kind of thing
inherently turns out to be fiddly and fragile.
Apple did a pretty good job of this with AppleScript by building the GUI
with automation in mind. That fell by the wayside long ago, however.
As someone who was a champion of AppleScript back in the day, made a point
of supporting it in my own apps, and even made a living creating scripts
for others, let me just say that, in retrospect, it was the solution to
the wrong problem.
