I am trying to write a tool to send mouse clicks to random positions

far has been to generate a random position and then call
AXUIElementCopyElementAtPosition() with the system-wide element and
checking whether the resulting AXUIElement belongs to my target
application.
I've found a problem though: when the point I check is in the title
bar of an application, AXUIElementCopyElementAtPosition() fails with
the kAXErrorFailure condition. Has anybody out there got any ideas
why it might be doing this, or other suggestions as to how I should
determine which application is at a specified position?
This is a known bug that is being looked at. It will only happen
in Cocoa
applications (when you ask for a element of a cocoa app).
Will it only happen for the title bar of the applications, or can it
sometimes happen with other components? And do you know if there is
a suggested workaround for what I'm trying to do?
Thanks,
