Suffering from weak rtl8723be wifi signal and new to proposed updates.

What I have done:

1. Make sure there are no more updates from non-propopsed sources (main, 
universe).
2. Enable proposed updates in GUI (this updates package list automatically).
3. back to command-line (just to feel safe): $ sudo apt-get update
4. $ sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic/bionic-proposed
5. $ sudo reboot

Weak signal! :-(

With ant_sel=2 I do get strong signal, though.  But as that requires manual 
intervention ...

I cannot confirm this bug being solved with kernel in proposed updates.
