I don't think I posted about this before because I was holding off to see if it'd been fixed but I see that I still have the problem in 9.97a.
 
When I create a hyperlink in the grid, and close the dialogue, the cell is sometimes left blank instead of creating the link.  It just happened three times in a row on the same link.  Annoying because I usually type out detailed descriptions that are lost.  I guess I'll have to copy the descriptions to save them until this can get fixed.  I haven't been able to figure out any pattern to it.
 
1) I thought it might be related to using forbidden symbols in the description but it occurs even with text only descriptions.
 
2) In the current example, the same entries failed three time in a row, so I reduced the description to one word.  That worked.  Then I added one word at a time to the description and each time it worked.  In the end, I had the exact same descrpition and path as the original that failed.  Then I went to two new cells and used the same description and path that failed previously and it worked correctly both times.
 
I wonder if this could be HTML pane-related, too?  Unfortunately, it's difficult to reproduce so I haven't been able to test that.   Testing will be difficult in any case because the "fix" appears randomly, too.  Sometimes it'll work on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th try, even though nothing has changed.

Just to me sure, are you dragging a file to the grid and if yes, what are the dialog options ?
Or else, are you using the Hyperlink command (Ctrl + K) ?

I'm using Ctrl+K.  I copy paste the web address, and manually type the description.

Perhaps you're in edit mode. I notice that hyperlink dialog fails if editing with no text in the cell

Hey, I think that's it.  Thanks.
