Bug Description

Network Manager seems to convert statically configured IPv6 DNS to IPv4 addresses for some reason.

Here at some screenshots (side by side) before applying the setting and after.

As you can see in the screenshots the IPv4 address corresponds to the first 32 bits of the IPv6 address which was entered.

network-manager/xenial 1.1.93-0ubuntu4 amd64
