It seems that the accessibility API makes it possible to resize
windows that are not normally supposed to be resizable. If you get an
AXUIElementRef for a window, and then set a new value on
kAXSizeAttribute for it, the window resizes, regardless of whether the
window has a "grow" area.
For example, you can resize the System Preferences window, which is
not normally a resizable window.
I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but I'd appreciate any
comments on that point.
I'd definitely say that it's a bug.
As a workaround, I suppose you should be able to ask if the size
attribute is settable, and then only set it if it is.
