Bitdefender AV on Mac steals focus
The most recent update of Bitdefender Antivirus steals focus as soon as it starts up. Since this is before login, the user must move the cursor back to the password box before they can login. It is very annoying!
I'm not sure how to find a version number, but this behavior started within the last few weeks. The date on the Bitdefender application folder is 18 March 2025.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thank you! They certainly buried that link deep; before posting here I searched pretty carefully and never found it.

Yes, this is the same issue - it didn't show up in my search since it talks about the dashboard, not about focus.
