Well...it has been quite some time and this bug has received absolutely *zero* attention from the Gnome Shell Gitlab here https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/123 escalated from the Gnome Bugzilla tracker after Gnome shell development moved to Gitlab. The issue is fully present in Ubuntu 18.04 AND in the newer version of the Gnome shell and NetworkManager in Fedora 28. Before v3.26.X, auto- connect worked fine through the NetworkManager in the Gnome environment. I'm afraid to report that months later, absolutely nothing has been done to address what should be a relatively high-priority bug in the Gnome Shell. If anyone has the capabilities to reach out farther than I already have, please do so. This critical bug has been sitting idle with no attention for months, and persists across newer versions of the Gnome shell, namely 3.28.X, seemingly independent of distribution.
