gnome-control-center occasionally fails to launch after multiple tries

[Luke B.]

Release: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Package Version: 1:3.28.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
Expected Behavior: Program should always launch upon request.
Problematic Behavior: Attempting to launch this program causes the shell to display the loading indicator for an unusual amount of time, only to never display the program.

Description: Upon launching this program through a terminal emulator, it never opens and never displays any output. Passing the verbose (-v) option with the program has the same result. When I launch it through the GUI, the shell displays the spinning circle (loading indicator) for an absurd amount of time. The program still does not open. This is a fresh install, so I restarted my computer. When launched again, the program opened and operated normally. However, upon closing the program and opening it again, it does not open up. Task management tools only show the process for a brief 3-5 seconds after requesting it to open and then it disappears. To my knowledge, this bug does not affect any other programs.

Workaround:
Entering the command
 killall gnome-control-center
allows it to open again upon next launches.

Research leads me to believe this should be an upstream bug.

What error do you get when it fails if you try to start if from a comand line? Could you add your journalctl from around the time of the issue? Would be nice to report it upstream
