Bug Description

On Ubuntu 18.04.1 when I insert a CD or DVD I don't see the window asking_what_to_do also if I specified this option in gnome-control-center > Devices > Removable_media

I see only a new icon on the desktop.

CD audio: 'Rhytmbox' and 'open-folder' works fine. 'Ask_what_to_do' does nothing
Blank CD disk: 'Open_folder' and 'Ask_what_to_do' does nothing, also call K3b or call CD/DVD creator (brasero) does nothing
Blank DVD disk: like Blank CD

On same hardware different partitions with Artful, Cosmic and Disco I see the same problem.

On same hardware different partition with Ubuntu Xenial inserting any CD/DVD I see a window saying: 'You have just inserted ... Chose what application to launch'

When I insert a blank DVD (or CD) a new icon appears on the desktop (bottom right on my attachment),
in the nautilus sidebar i see the DVD, if i click the new icon i see the window bottom left but i don't have the message 'You have just inserted ...'
also if I specified 'ask what to do'
