Summary0011115: Color legend has too many digits in the exponent.
DescriptionI have a user that has made complaints about font layout on the color scale editor. After looking at it, I think he has a seed of truth to his complaint.

Use case:
ParaView trunk, local server, Windows.

Open disk_out_ref.exo.
Calculator. Use GlobalNodeId*1e6-1e6+1.2345678 in the formula.
Turn on the color legend.

* Bug - On windows, when the data needs an exponent, there are three digits of precision in the exponent. This is excessive, and should be 2.

See attached screenshot.

vtkPVScalarBarActor line 324...

Should I filter the number of 0 after "e+" and "e-" ?

For example:

        Today => Tomorrow
Window: 8e+009 => 8e+9
Linux : 8e+09 => 8e+9

That sounds like a good idea to me - getting rid of all 0's. What we are really trying to do is increase the precision of the mantissa. Currently, we only get one digit!

Fix it by removing extra 0 after either e+ or e-
i.e.: 8.5e+009 or 8.5e+09 will be changed to be 8.5e+9

Did not increase the mantisse precision as it's only for the color legend.

Lets try this for a while, and see how users like it. Tested remote server, Windows client, trunk.
