It may be hiding itself from this sort of stuff in all sorts of complicated 
ways, or it may be doing something as simple as checking the time delay 
between the "received focus" and the "click", or perhaps also between the 
mousedown and the mouseup events in an attempt to discover whether the click 
is likely to have been produced by a human operator. The delay between 
mousedown and mouseup is typically in the region of 100 milliseconds or more 
for a human operator, and perhaps a second or more between focus and 
mousedown. Try introducing these delays in your code and see what happens.
