Maybe the solution I proposed is not the best one, but I still feel this is something that should be handled somewhere. 
This is an issue that I noticed in Horizon even before I started to give a look to any OpenStack code, in fact I was just using it as an user. 
As an user I assume that the IP address shown in the dashboard at the side of the instance name is actually assigned to that instance and not something useful for internal OpenStack use.

Title:
  Fixed ip info shown for port even when dhcp is disabled

Status in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon):
  New
Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  As a user it is very confusing (especially in Horizon dashboard)
  having the IP address displayed even when the DHCP is disabled for the
  subnet the port belongs to: the user would expect that the IP address
  shown is actually assigned to the instance, but this is not the case,
  since the DHCP is disabled.

  I asked in the ML about this issue
  (http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-
  dev/2014-December/053069.html) and I understood that neutron needs to
  reserve an IP address for a port even in the case it is not assigned,
  anyway I think this info should not be displayed or should be
  differently specified.

  In a first moment I thought about raising the bug against Horizon, but
  I feel the correct place to fix this is in neutron. Before to assign
  this bug to myself I would like to get some feedback by other
  developers, my idea for a possible solution is to add a boolean
  element "assigned" to "fixed_ip" dict with value False when in the
  subnet identified by "subnet_id"  DHCP is disabled.
