When entering a new scientific notation value for a y-axis' min/max value, the validator will sometimes not allow users to input valid entries. The issue is that for scientific notation, it requires the first part to be a float (e.g. 1.0E7, 5.222e-14).
Expected behavior
The validator should allow numbers in scientific notation in which the base number is whole, rather than just floats. (e.g. 1E7, -16e14)
Steps to Reproduce
Open trace
Navigate to the Axis tab
Click either the Min Range or Max Range cell for an axis
Try entering '1e7'
a. Notice it won't let you enter the 'e'
Try entering '1.0e7'
a. Notice that it will let you enter the whole string
Possible solution (optional)
Fix the regex in ScientificNotationDelegate.createEditor(). Find a way to make the '.' optional.
