Unfortunately, this probably simply falls into the category of
"application bug", and the only real way to get it fixed is for
the vendor to fix it. (or the vendor to figure out some workaround.)

As long as the application is properly responding to X window system
events, there's nothing that GNOME could do to cause this; the
fact that it works with KDE is likely pure coincidence.
