Describe the issue:

I am trying to use Positron for some data wrangling and the data explorer is great in general. However, I have multiple columns in various data frames that are of the type "double". These are typically 9-digit integers in my data, but this happens when they grow to over 7 digits.

The data explorer seems to always want these doubles in scientific notation. I have tried specifying the option(scipen=999) without any change.

If I change the data type of a column to integer then the scientific notation goes away.

I have found no setting in Positron nor anything on the google that gives me a hint that there is a setting somewhere else.

In RStudio if I set the scipen option and then run View(x) on a data frame it will respect the scipen option in the display.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

options(scipen = 999)
test_data <- data.frame(
                    order_proc_id = as.double(sample(11528843:11528943, 100, replace = TRUE)),
                    order_inst = sample(seq(as.POSIXct('2020-01-01'), as.POSIXct('2023-01-01'), by="day"), 100, replace = TRUE),
                    department_name_ahpl_combined = sample(c("Cardiology", "Neurology", "Oncology", "Pediatrics"), 100, replace = TRUE)
                ) |> View()

Expected or desired behavior:

Data Explorer should display numeric data in accordance with the scipen option setttings.

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?
