Power management is not suppressed when kodi runs fullscreen

I am using KDE Plasma and have noticed that screen dimming and screen powering off still occurs when kodi (17.0) is fullscreen. From what I understand this should be something that the program should do, and other programs such as mpv do suppress the power management, so is this a bug in kodi?
I am using KDE Neon and the kodi 17 build from here https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
