Thank you. This makes sense. But what also makes sense to me is that
|Add|Define new variable| expects the user to enter a functional
relation such as y=3+2x where x is a variable. So logic dictates (at
least to me) that y=3 is a horizontal line, not a single point.
I rest my case.

I'm sorry to repeat myself, but since I think both sides of the argument
are right (one, it's not a bug, two, it still may be confusing),
wouldn't it make sense to add a clarifying note to the text in the
dialog window? The window is really small and straightforward, no danger
of cluttering anything.
thanks,
