I confirm this bug.

I join the Apport log.

I got the same error too on linux 16.04.5 how do I send you the needed info

[Dave Goldsbrough (daveg-k)]

I suspect your recent request of me to run apport-collect 1766974 was an error and should have been directed at Michael Odumosu (michael5757) instead.
In any case, I have since the bug(s) freshly installed 18.04 LTS and have no bugs at all now. I am unable to replicate.

[Dave Goldsbrough (daveg-k)]

See my recent comment against the bug.
