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:
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?
