Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnumeric

This is not a bug, but a missing feature.

When specifying constraints for the Solve tool, one cannot set a literal value.
For example, if I want to constrain a cell to be less than 1, I have to write 1 in some
cell and then make a reference to that cell in the Contraints dialog. It would be more
natural if I was able to write a 1 rather than a reference to a cell containing 1.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Lucid Lynx. It won't be fixed in previous versions of Ubuntu because the package doesn't fit the requirements for backporting. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports for more information.
