Newly opened documents should not show same dialogs (Hyperlink, Insert Field, ...) as in document from where opened

1. new a calc 2. click Insert->hyperlink 3. select "New Document" in hyperlink dialog, then choose "Edit now" radio 4. select a file type then enter a file name, then click "Apply" 5. a new application is created regarding to the file type selected in above step. Hide current calc, you will find the new created document also calls out "Hyperlink" dialog, with "Document" highlighted and each fields are blank.. I think this Hyperlink dialog may have a wrong parent window, it should be the refreshed one of the original calc.
Verified and reproduced.
I did some tests with with "AOO 4.0.1 – German UI / German locale [Rev. 1524958 2013-09-20 11:40:29]" on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", “historic” 4.0 User Profile used for all predecessor versions, and I think we are talking about following problem: 1. Open New Calc Document from AOO Start Center 2. Menu 'Insert -> Hyperlink - Document-Pane:New Document - Radiobutton:Edit Now - Filetype: Spreadsheet - Filename: "New.ods" [Apply] > As expected New empty Calc document "New.ods" will be opened > Unexpectedly for "New.ods" 'Edit Link' dialog will be opened Additional info: ---------------- (a) This problem is not limited to Calc, Same in Writer, Draw (b) Same behavior already with OOo 1.1.5 (c) Still Reproducible with server installation of "AOO 4.1.0-Dev – English UI / English locale - [AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1546757 - 2013-12-02]" on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", own separate user profile. (d) I did not see the problem during a quick test with Lotus Symphony Release 3.0.1 Revision 20120110.2000 (e) Still the same with LibO 4.1.3 (f) Already reproducible with Pre-3.4.0 (OOo 3.3.0), but because of crippled Version selector (Bug 123063) no useful info can be contributed
Thee problem is not limited to particular proceeding as per original report, but a general Hyperling Dialog issue: 21. Form AOO Start Center open New Spreadsheet 22. Click 'Edit Hyperlink' Icon in Standard Toolbar > Hyperlink Dialog appears 23. Select 'Internet' in Hyperlink Dialog 24. Arrange Document to left half of screen and Hyperlink Dialog in Document 25. Menu 'File -> New -> Text Document > New writer Document will be opened, Hyperlink Dialog shown 26. Arrange Document to right half of screen, Hyperlink Dialog in Document 27. Select 'New Document' in Hyperlink Dialog 28. Toggle between both documents, you will see that both have their own Hyperlink dialog (g) So if Hyperlink dialog is opened when new (or existing) document will be opened newly opened document will show it's own Hyperlink dialog immediately after document has become opened (h) also other dialogs (Insert Field, ..) show this behavior (i) Has been rated as "not an issue" for "Bug 102633 - Hyperlink-Dialog visible when opening new document", but I can't understand the reasoning (k) Seems related to or DUP of "Bug 20276 - Documents will be opened with open hyperlink dialog window "
