TextWrangler appears to be an exception to this. Its text windows'
"green" buttons are number 1 and although these can either zoom or send
the windows into full-screen mode in the user interface, they only have
an "AXPress" action in GUI Scripting and this causes full-screen mode.
TextWrangler windows are of course scriptable anyway, but it shows that
the two-action observation should be treated with caution.
