Can SudokuSolver do extra-groups puzzles such as the one below? If so, I'm not seeing how to set it up.

enxio27 Not sure whether this can be set up in SudokuSolver.
I've just done it using Sudocue to maintain the pencil marks, it is fairly straightforward as long as you remember to keep applying Law of Leftovers.

You should be able to set this up as a "zero" killer. Each shaded region can be set as a cage with value 45.

If that doesn't work, it's a bug - as it should do that OK.
