UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)

Yes it was a fresh install.  I installed Bionic Beaver x64, one week
ago.  It was not an upgrade, it was a "clean" install on a newly
formatted disk drive.

Title:
  Nautilus won't allow .desktop extension to be changed

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 18.04 LTE Bionic Beaver.

  1. right click mouse on desktop and select New Document -> Untitled   
     The file Untitled.desktop appears.
  2. Right click on the file and select Rename.
  3. In the file name dialog box, rename as follows:
     From: Untitled.desktop
     To:   Untitled.txt

     Then click the rename button in the dialog box.

     The dialog box closes and a file appears with a name of: 
Untitled.txt.desktop
     
     Thus, ".desktop" cannot be deleted or renamed.
     I expected to see Untitled.txt not Untitled.txt.desktop
     I also expect to be able to create a file with no extension at all on 
linux.  
     Cannot do that either. 

  I have also duplicated this behavior in other folders apart from the
  desktop such as the default documents folder.

  The only workaround I have is to create a file with extension that
  does not end with .desktop is to use a text editor like Notepad++ to
  create a new file then use "Save As".

  Is this a bug?   If not, it seems odd behavior.  If I want to create a
  new C++ file such as foo.cpp then I cannot do it with this behavior
  and the make built-in rules will never file foo.cpp.desktop.
