Not sure proposed fix is all of issue.

I boot 18.04 by default with UEFI and every test or experimental install in the 
past has  overwritten my /EFI/ubuntu.
But install of Cosmic did not overwrite my /EFI/ubuntu but created /EFI/grub. 
It has a correct /EFI/grub/grub.cfg, but my UEFI is set to default boot using 
/EFI/ubuntu.
But booting grub UEFI entry booted me into my default install.
Issue is similar to previous bug reports where a change to GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR= 
creates a new UEFI entry, but internally either efi_distributor or perhaps just 
the code that defines where to find grub is hard coded to /EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg.
It needs to use grub.cfg in the ESP folder it creates. And kluge on Kubuntu 
should finally be fixed.

Older version, not sure what you have now.
