Bug Description
This is new at 18.04 (I've just upgraded from 17.10, which was fine).
I open up dolphin and click on an entry under Devices (a mixture of non-auto mounted local devices and external USB ones).
What I now see happening most times is that the device mounts but I also get an error message posted (top of the listing display) saying that the device is already mounted.
I'm also seeing occasions where I click on a device name and nothing appears to happen. It is left marked as unmounted and nothing shows in the listing display. But the device is actually mounted and indeed, a right-click on it gives me the option to Unmount it. But it is unusable as dolphin won;t show me anything there. Once a device gets into this state it seems to stay there - I have to start another dolphin session to do anything with it (assuming that one doesn't get the same issue).
The net result is that trying to use non auto mounting devices has become extremely difficult.
I'm seeing this on two separate systems - both just updated.

Another set of (related?) issues with this dolphin.
If I right-click on an entry under Devices and select "Open in New Window":
if there is no mount error I get a new window, but it is displaying my Home.
if there is a mount error I get no new window (which may be correct...)
If I right-click on an entry under Places it opens a new window at the chosen location.
Similar issues with "Open in New Tab".
It may work for the first attempt or so, but once it has failed it continues to fail.
