Does the same happen, if you install a real Kodi beta or only with retroplayer test builds?

Could you try to disable that setting in OS X that results in each screen having its own space? Not sure how exactly it is called - not near at a Mac atm.

I think i have the same odd behavior. And even more strange behavior whenever i compile kodi with newest Xcode 10. Mojave has a really strange behavior when it comes to full screen apps. They changed something [tm]

Same issue as you describe. Also, have you noticed fonts in other apps get bold while Kodi (nightly from yesterday, but also before) is running full screen? e.g. names in Telegram Messenger app, titles in the iTunes mini player.
Mojave hasn't been good for me so far. A lot of issues.

I at least found one of the causes of the delay and freeze. Its deep down into an OpenGL call (NSOpenGLContext setview) were everything freezes for 6 seconds here. I fear this has something to do with the fact that apple deprecated OpenGL in Mojave and forces all developers to transition to Metal. I also think the other behaviors we see have to do with this. I don't think there will be a quick fix for Kodi atm. Transition to Metal is such a big undertaking, that it even might kill mac os as platform for Kodi if nobody has the needed time, skills and motivation to do this.

Hi !
So would this mean to buy a new Mac Mini with Mojave isn't a good idea atm ? My old one is damaged and i plan to buy a new one. I got the Mini only for using Kodi ... and the new one should take over the Kodi Task ...
Do it or not ?
1st: Mac Mini: Intel i5 2,6Ghz - 8Gb Ram - Intel Iris - 1Tb - MacOS Big Sur 11.2.3 - Kodi 19.0 - MySQL 8.0.13 (Server)
2nd: iMac 27": Intel i5 2,8Ghz - 12Gb Ram - AMD 5750 1024Mb GFX - 1Tb SSD - MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 - Kodi 19.0 - MySQL (Client)
3rd: Some Rasperries
Server: Synology 916+

If only for Kodi I would go for a nuc and put libreelec on it. Much cheaper and does the job better (because it supports more audio formats then Mac and better refresh rate switching)

I have the same problem. Kodi v17.6 and v18 until RC5 takes 10 seconds to show its UI.
Just after Mojave update. (Mac mini 2012, 16 gb, SSD - Kodi on it)
Is that something devs are aware of ?
It’s not a big thing in terms of use but it’s about to know why I ;-)
Info : tried kodi update, tried complete uninstall, reinstall... no success.

Yes i am aware off. Mojave does some thing strange when Kodi starts (firing display disconnected/connected events).
As other apps don’t seem to show the issue is have all hopes up that rewriting the whole windowing system for OSX and getting rid of SDL will cure the issue. This is a long standing task which i was not able to finish yet. My Kodi time is not likely to increase in the next year though.

SOLVED ! finally !
Quit Kodi
Go to Mac preferences > Mac Security Preference Pane > Confidentiality > Accessibility
Remove all Kodi entries
Restart Kodi and cancel the message warning for allow kodi manage accessibility prefs
Kodi is so fast at start now.
