Render distance resets to 4 chunks after pausing or reentering the world.

Whenever I'm playing my world, and I have to pause it or switch windows for a minute, my render distance gets taken down from 16 to 4, and I have to put it back every time.  It's nothing game-breaking, but it does become a nuisance after dealing with it for a while.  Due to the nature of the glitch, a screenshot is unnecessary, as it would not adequately showcase the issue.
