Another vote to bump up the priority on this.

Just lost 2 days to this bug, mostly because the behavior is so stupidly borked that I never suspected that Ubuntu would be the cause. Can you imagine how stupid it is that the only machines on the network affected are the Ubuntu Desktops and Ubuntu Servers. Can you imagine how embarrassing it that even Windows machines follow the standards better than a Linux machine.

And the absolutely mind-boggling thing is that this is affecting every release from 16.04 to 19.04 and still it is not considered important enough to fix.

It is absolutely ridiculous that it would be considered more important to keep behavior that supports a few edge cases of software that wants to do their own DNS resolution in spite of the fact that it breaks the world-wide standards of DNS resolution and ignore DHCP-provided DNS addresses.
