Merged xbmc#13990. Can you verify if fixed?

Still occurring with 18.0-ALPHA2 Git:20180531-9d64395be6, which was what was packaged in kodi-20180614-cd7cabc8-retroplayer-18alpha2-x86_64.dmg - maybe there was a packing error there?

[zach-morris]

Scratch that, verified fixed in the nightly kodi-20180619-87c7f9b6-master-x86_64
