Mediaplayer cover hides artist label

I've noticed that the label for the artist is not showing most of the time, that is until you take a screenshot of the cover, then magically, the artist label appears!......I can reproduce this everytime.

Side note: You'll notice that the song labels are bold and there is a back button. The magical appearance of the missing artist label happened before I made any of the above modifications to MediaPlayerCover.qml, found in /usr/share/jolla-mediaplayer/pages/.

To reproduce, simply open Mediaplayer, select a track/album and minimise to cover. Check that cover is NOT displaying the artist label and then take a screenshot using volume controller ( Vol+ + Vol-), while taking the screenshot, notice how artist label slowly appears.
