Hello, I opened bug 88835 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88835 about the number of digits in exponent when setting scientific format. By default there is 3 digits, either when selecting with button or shortcut, or when selecting General format. Setting 3 digits in exponent would only make sense for values higher than 10^100 (also known as googol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googol ) which are unlikely to occur in "real" calculation. I know that this default setting is coming from the old days, and from the beginning it always make feel strange to me. Do you have any idea why 3 digits would be necessary? ----- LibreOffice 4.1.6.2 -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Calc-Default-scientific-format-should-constains-less-digits-in-exponent-tp4138135.html Sent from the UX-Advise mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
