Killing an enemy who is throwing a frag turns the frag into yours

On which server did this happen? All
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 27.01.23
Summarize your bug Sometimes if you kill an enemy who is mid-frag animation it will turn that frag into your own.
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Kill enemies just after they start the frag throw animation
What happens when the bug occurs? Their frag automatically becomes yours
What should be happening instead? It should stay theirs unless interacted with

Before anyone says it, NOPE I am not shooting the grenades out of the air or tossing nades back. The below example is pretty clear cut but I'll clarify just in case, I did not press E to interact with the frag, I started a reload, and you can see me interrupt that animation with attempting to throw my own smoke grenade right before the frag goes off (you can see the smoke 'nade change color in the bottom right, just so you know I'm not pressing anything else).

I have had it happen when shooting people at medium range down hallways too... where I get the kill, I stop to reload and take cover completely out of view, and then a second later get a frag grenade kill while I'm in cover + reloading... I'm not even near where I killed the first enemy, and while running smoke grenades so I know it's not mine.

    @JD_W0LF not sure how much this is a bug, but to my knowledge this happens with all universal throwables

    Just by killing a player? I'll say for the 3rd time I'm NOT shooting the nades or throwing them back... simply killing a player while they toss theirs...

    @JD_W0LF Yes, this has been a thing since BFH. If you kill them right as they are tossing it the grenade becomes yours.
