Nobody denies this, in fact I expect it.

In case it hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet (I did mention it in forum threads about the same topic):

It isn't expected that the developers of the interfering apps fix this in their apps, unless there is a real 
bug. They may be able to provide hints that explain why this is happening, in a way like "we are influencing 
this and that behavior in windowing events because of..., check your code for anything related to events 
like...".

For some apps, they might be unwilling to reveal that - Kaspersky could be doing this to prevent some sort of 
malicous focus grabbing, and not give scammers any hints how to prevent it.
But there seem to be a few FLOSS projects involved as well, that might be able to provide more insight.
