[Bug 1820953] [NEW] 19.04 hidden wifi - unable to connect to network following 18.10's page

[Chris Guiver]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 19.04 QA-test (daily live)
Note: this is not a software issue.

When it comes to wifi - I'm equal to an idiot.

I tried to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-wireless-hidden.html.en
but I could not find any "Connect to Hidden Wifi" option following instructions.

I did this first on a sony ultrabook & failed, now on a thinkpad sl510.
Problem I believe is either 19.04 doesn't match docs, or idiot-at-keyboard.
