Public bug reported: When I select "show hidden files" in the Nautilus GUI menu almost all of my Ubuntu desktop icons disappear. My home folder icon and my trash can icon (and - oddly - a single .mp3 and a single .zip file - ??) stay visible on the desktop.
After unchecking the "show hidden files" checkbox, all icons reappear again. One additional information concerning the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + H": "Ctrl + H" to show hidden files seems to have been disabled in Ubuntu 19.04 / Nautilus 3.32.0-stable. When I press "ctrl + H" now, all desktop icons disappear for a moment, then reappear without a change. This does not switch the nautilus "show hidden files" state. It seems to be a bug in nautilus.
