In this case you have to provide a test case: CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for some data so we can reproduce what you have in different versions to know if it is a bug in one of these versions.

You have to provide the complete version numbers also for your 18c version (query v$version and/or provide the db message when you connect with SQL*Plus).

It works for me in versions: 11.2.0.4.181016, 12.1.0.2.190716, 12.2.0.1.200714, 18.11.0.0.200714, 19.8.0.0.200714 but indeed not in 18.3.0.0.180717.
So we have to admit there is a bug in this version.
I'm not surprised as I have encountered a similar thing (although the opposite: something that works only in this version).
