 I may or may not have already filed this somewhere, but:

 Calculate provides several default variables such as "e", "pi", etc.

 These can all be overridden with new numbers by setting a label of the
 same name.  And then Sugar, by defaulting to starting the last journal
 entry for an activity, can make it non-obvious how to get to a session
 where these have not been changed.

 Should this be allowed?

 Seen in Calculate-36/OLPC 11.2.0 os13.
