"This works for me (upto the accuracy of 30 significant places).
I'm using gcalctool v5.19.2 with Ubuntu Feisty.
I'm in scientific mode. I used the Acc menu, "Other..." menu item
to set the accuracy to 30 significant places. (This is the bit I think
the bug submitter missed).
I highlighted "0.00000000000000000000000013806505" from this bug report
and used the right mouse button menu to "Select All".
I clicked on the "Edit Constants..." menu item in the "Con" menu.
and double clicked on the Value field of one of the existing constants,
cleared it, then used the right mouse button menu to "Paste" in the
new number. 30 significant places stores "0.000000000000000000000000138065".
I hit the OK button to accept it.
Pulling down the Con menu shows "0.000000000000000000000000138065" set
for that Constant. (Note that if I had the significant places set to a
lower value -- like 9 -- it does indeed show up in this menu as "0").
Now the menu item can be retrieved from the Constant menu and used in
calculations.
NOTABUG."
