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.

In Comp Sci, we learn early on about the concept of “abstract machines” 
layered on top of each other, starting with the bare hardware, which is 
the most general kind of machine, and specializing it more and more in the 
upper layers until we get something suited to the set of problems we are 
trying to solve.

That process stops when you get to the GUI: that is designed for operation 
by humans, not to have anything else layered on top of it.
