Description dgt224 2013-05-20 16:58:32 UTC 
To reproduce: Create a hyperlink of any type other than Web Link. With the cell containing the link selected, choose Edit->Modify->Hyperlink. The dialog opens with type Web Link selected and with the Web Address field initialized to the address text of the existing link. Click on OK. The type of the hyperlink is changed to Web Link, as can be demonstrated by clicking on the link in the cell.
Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2013-05-20 18:37:26 UTC 
in dialog-hyperlink.c we pretend to duplicate teh existing link:

	/* We are creating a new link since the existing link */
	/* may be used in many places. */
	/* We are duplicating it here rather than in an ok handler in case */
	/* The link is changed for a differnt cell in a different view. */
	state->link = g_object_new (gnm_hlink_url_get_type (), NULL);
	if (link == NULL)
		state->is_new = TRUE;
	else {
		state->is_new = FALSE;
		gnm_hlink_set_target (state->link, gnm_hlink_get_target (link));
		gnm_hlink_set_tip (state->link, gnm_hlink_get_tip (link));
	}

We are clearly ignoring the current type.
