Related to #8474. egui currently does not properly expose handles to allow users to adjust resize panels.

The following recording is on macOS VoiceOver. Notice that the contents of the handles is empty.

To Reproduce

  1. Run the egui demo app and enable an assistive technologies, like VoiceOver.
  2. Select a resize handle.
  3. Notice that nothing is annouced and entering it gives "content is empty." Trying to resize does not work either.

Tested on

  • OS: macOS Tahoe 26.6.2
