This bug is still present in 18.04 LTS.  The steps are the same.  The
startup application workaround #2 in the OP works only temporarily as
the permissions on /var/lib/lightdm/.config/dconf/user get reset and the
workaround fails.

Switching from lightdm to gdm3 gives you an ugly primitive on screen
keyboard but at least they get the coordinates right.  This page
explains how to switch display manager.

manager.html

If you do this on a laptop with an external monitor you will probably
run into gdm bug:

To get the gdm3 login screen to appear on the proper monitor I used the
accepted solution by Aravind here:
