Description: When Engineering notation is selected in a format, clicking on "Add Decimal Place" or "Delete Decimal Place" buttons deselect Engineering Notation option. Steps to reproduce: 1. Enter a value in scientific format such as 1.23456e4 2. In Sidebar or Format > Cells > Numbers, check "Engineering notation" (Value looks like 12.35E+03 as expected) 3. Click on button "Add Decimal Place" Actual behaviour: Value is displayed as 1.235E+04 (Engineering notation is lost) Expected behaviour: Engineering notation should be kept and value should be displayed as 12.346E+03
