Still repro.

Having said that, if instead of selecting General you select some specific
format such as Number (OK) and then select General, the range is indeed changed
to be formatted as General.

It is even easier if the format is changed by using the toolbar instead of the
Format Cell dialog.

So this is because of not actually modifying a specific current format to
General when the cells in the selected range have diverse formatting.

It is enough to actually modify the field to something (as oppose to leaving
whatever is there in the dialog and just clicking OK), and the format is indeed
changed.

Imaging the opposite situation. "I accidentally clicked OK instead of Cancel,
and all my nicely-formatted cells were changed to General without me noticing
it at the time. Now I cannot just undo and move on. Is there any way to easily
recover the prior cell formatting I had? Please help!".

Therefore, considering the existence of a simple workaround (or more than one),
and that there is no data loss or anything like that, I tend to think of this
as a minor problem, if at all.
