Comment:

 IPv6 support is supposed to have the following behaviour :
 - IPv6 should be tried first IF the host has an AAAA record AND localhost
 has a global IPv6 address (not just the local link one)
 - If both A and AAAA records are avaible for the host, AAAA should have
 precedence
 - UNLESS User is given explicit choice to default to IPv4

 My test showed that for an host beeing reachable on both protocols, also
 having both A and AAAA records, Cyberduck defaults to IPv4

 I couldn't find any setting to change this faulty behaviour.

 When given with an IPv6 adress, cyberduck rightfully uses IPv6.
